Highlighted moments
Belief, it's not something that you have or something that you lack. And it's not something that you get, you know, through encouragement and a lot of praising. It's something that you earn. So we need as educators and in schools to create opportunities for students to actually earn that where, you know, they try, they struggle safely with support, where they connect progress to effort, where they contribute.
“a lot of people, even adults, uh, think that because they, they, they hear or see, you know, these thoughts that they assume they must be true because, you know, they're coming from me. And so teaching, uh, students, not only to notice, but also inquire, question, and even, uh, reframe, uh, these thoughts is extremely powerful.”
