There is power in student voice and choice.. “Give them the tools to create the box that they must break out of…”

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

When students own their learning, they learn to think outside the box.

As we navigate this life, not every person we meet or work with will be our ally. Not everyone will cheer our success. We must find those people, & they are few, who will be our champions in good and bad times. They will give us honest feedback seeing our worth and supporting it.
