Description

This Teacher Resource Guide accompanies the Power of Persistence Senior poster, part of the Wild Teak Studio Thriving Classroom Series.

Designed for teachers working with young people aged 11–16, the guide offers practical ways to introduce and explore the six skills of persistence, helping learners respond constructively to setbacks, learn from experience and develop the determination to keep working towards their goals.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of the six skills involved in developing persistence.
• Discussion questions to encourage self-reflection, perseverance and a constructive attitude towards challenges.
• Practical suggestions for bringing persistence, resilience and purposeful effort into everyday classroom life.
• Engaging activities that encourage learners to analyse setbacks, learn from outcomes, seek guidance and refine their approaches.
• Cross-curricular opportunities for developing persistence through different subjects, practical challenges and real-world experiences.
• Guidance for adapting activities and support to different learning needs.
• Ideas for observing progress, encouraging reflection and extending learning beyond the classroom.

The emphasis is on helping young people understand that persistence is not simply repeating the same action, but learning, adapting and making purposeful improvements. By recognising setbacks as valuable feedback and using experience to guide their next attempt, learners develop resilience, patience and greater confidence in their ability to make progress.

More than a poster companion, this guide helps teachers turn everyday setbacks and challenges into meaningful opportunities for perseverance, thoughtful learning and personal growth.
