Hope and Optimism
Building and sustaining a shared belief in our capacity to create a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future.
Dimension Acting — Leading and Enabling Change
For me
- Which future am I conveying to my class – one you can shape, or one you have to endure?
- What gives me hope in my profession?
For my class
- What has got better in recent years?
- What could we manage as a class that one person alone could not?
In the classroom
- Good news of the week: students research what is developing positively.
- Solution stories instead of problem stories: who has already solved a similar problem – and how?
