Ambition Institute
Ambition Institute is interested in what teachers and leaders do to support the development of pupils’ non-cognitive skills. Skills such as resilience, grit, self-determination and self-efficacy are thought to be just as much a predictor of future success as traditional academically focussed metrics. We have surveyed the literature and will be conducting case studies with ten positive outlier mainstream schools to identify practices that are focused on supporting pupils beyond improving their academic outcomes.
