  • jorgovan45 May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    there needs to be a balance...while I DO realize that standardized tests are important, so is teaching hope. I fear we will never find that balance. #g2great
    In reply to @DrMaryHoward
  • NowakRo May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    A1 Hope is the belief in all that is good in the world. It means that we know kindness and the heart will prevail. Hope is being optimistic, positive and doing our part. It needs to be part of every classroom, to always believe that kids will succeed & be stronger. #g2great
  • hayhurst3 - Moderator May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    Mollie! Great to see you and ready to talk some HOPE #G2GREAT
    In reply to @mollienye72
  • lethajhenry May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT
    A1- Hope is a way of moving forward-focusing on the possibilities and not the limitations. In school it's letting our students know that this moment, this incident, this snapshot in time does not define them; tomorrow is a new day and another chance to shine their light. #G2great
  • suzrolander May 10 @ 8:35 PM EDT

  • pranikoff May 10 @ 8:38 PM EDT
    A1 Keep your eyes on the present and the big picture. You are teaching students, who have lives, who are trying to figure things out and trying to figure their own lives out. Relationships matter. Kindness matters. Listening mattes. #G2Great

  • LTastor May 10 @ 8:39 PM EDT

    A1 We need much more instructional hope but we can do that if we allow labels to cloud our view. Labels blind us to hope while seeing kids from sides illuminates it. #G2Great
  • aschoenborn May 10 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    A1: Hope is the lifeboat in the middle of a storm we need when we have nearly given up. To save lives we need to be the shelter from the storm. Kindness matters. Caring matters. Love matters. Help them overcome obstacles. Don’t become one. #g2Great

  • NowakRo May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A2 If we want to see more hope, we need to not only be models of hope, we have to spread it everywhere we go. Let the positive drown out the negative. Let us look with our hearts, not our eyes. Let us show others how beautiful the world is, how much we have to hope for. #g2great
  • LevineWrites May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A2 Hope is a shared human response that can be gifted to others through caring and a loving spirit. #g2great
  • lethajhenry May 10 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    A2- When you're positive, a hopeful stance comes as naturally as the tendency to see/bring out the best in people and situations. Be the voice that shuts down:“What’s lacking here?” and change it to “What do we have? What can we start with? Where can we go from here?” #g2great

    A1 Hope is a new baby, a fresh start ea day, a brand new bk from a beloved author. Hope is hearing your friends call your name & rush to hug you when you're late. Hope is lrng abt something sad & deciding to do something to change it. Hope is knowing that life is good. #G2Great

    A2: It means sharing how you handle difficult situations. I.e. Modeling your writing challenges, sharing stories of personal perseverance, listening to students with empathy in your heart, working through a difficult text, offering full credit for redos, etc. #G2Great
  • DrMaryHoward - Moderator May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A2 We choose to view the world from a lens of hope or negativity. We can also choose to turn a blind eye to those who opt for negativity. I don’t ever want to catch that virus! #G2Great
  • mrbgilson May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A2: All about the example. I look at the feedback I give my students, growth mindset, positive and working towards their goals. When they struggle we set goals, easy manageable, hope building. #G2great
  • GreeneMachine82 May 10 @ 8:47 PM EDT
    A2: it’s part of our responsibility as educators to spread hope to our students, to let them know that the world is scary, but they can change that....the best way to spread hopeful cheer is singing loud for all to hear (anyone get the reference?)#g2great

    A2 Hope is truly contagious. Hope is reading powerful bks, talking about differences that little people make in the world. It's giving kids a voice & acting on their ideas. Then, it's reflecting back on the significance of their attempts to change the world. #g2Great

    Challenge! I will not only keep spreading my messages of kindness and hope, I will celebrate some incredible people with signs of hope and bigger things to hope. Make others feel seen and heard and appreciated for all they do. Show them their hope for a better world. #g2great

    HOPE is not going to happen just by wishing upon a professional star. We have to take action and we have to carry hope in our back pockets everywhere we go. It’s going to take ALL of us! #G2Great
