Listen ""A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world." Teach Different with Atticus - Happiness"
Episode Synopsis
How do you stay happy in a cruel world?
When bad things happen, students have to make choices about how they'll protect themselves. Some choose to fight back against the people or events which caused them pain, thinking that they have the power to change the world into something better. Others recoil and focus on changing their internal attitude, hoping that by doing that they can maintain happiness no matter what happens.
Join Steve and Dan Fouts with Adrienne Borders for a conversation about the best ways to navigate a cruel world. Should we turn inward and make our own happiness or is there a better way to build a shield so we can survive?
Whether you are a teacher, school leader, or simply someone interested in experiencing the joy and fulfillment of challenging kids with big ideas, join our worldwide Community of Educators FREE for 30 days. Membership includes access to our robust library of resources, conversation plans, and lively discussions among teachers and faculty.
