Title: You got to believe in somethin'. Why not believe in WE? -- Belief, Choices and the Challenge to Do What's Right
Presentation: So much of what we do comes down to belief -- in kids, in communities, in ourselves. So much of what the world hands us erodes that belief. How can we teach, lead, research, and organize when it can feel like we've given all that we can give? This is not a talk about filling our collective cups. We've already had that dialogue. This is a talk about using listening, sound pedagogy and inquiry to stop the erosion of belief that robs us of our energy and children of the futures that we can build together.
