Can you teach the future and be optimistic?

Jason Manning

Can you teach the future and be optimistic? That is what I am going to focus on as I start the LBH project this year. In the past my students talk about global warming, an asteroid hitting the earth, or food shortages in a rising global population. All of these issues are important but I want to create a feeling of optimism as I stress to the kids that they can help solve the world's issue. Any suggestions for how to go about this monumental task?

    I show the film, I Am, by Tom Shadyac. I have been focusing on healing separation and inspiring my student to become change agents. I also have begun using activities from Developing Ecological Consciousness, by Christopher Uhl, as a means of developing relational intelligence within my students. I just received Christopher Uhl's Teaching Like Life Matters in the mail yesterday and can't wait to read it after I finish The Soul of the Sensuous by David Abrams. I am learning that all the great minds, past and current, are saying the same thing. I'm jumping in head first and looking for practical applications that target changing worldviews and healing separation.
