As educators, we must learn to balance the successes and the challenges that we face as we attempt to create meaningful learning experiences for our students.  Education was never categorized as an easy career and it is proving to be one of the most challenging today.  Too much negativity is impacting our effectiveness to be creative teachers and administrators.  It is my belief that to overcome these challenges, we must focus on solutions rather than problems.  So what are some solutions that can reduce the negativity and encourage our educators to love their work?

INSPIRING YOUNG GLOBAL PEACEMAKERS  IN THE CLASSROOM

I am devoting my work in this blog to a topic that is very dear to my heart – inspiring young global peacemakers.  In the past forty years, I have experienced several generations of young people and educators who represent many social and educational variances.  My hope has always been that perhaps I have made a slight impact on someone’s life to be the best that they can be and do it in a manner that upholds human dignity.

I invite readers to share thoughts and personal experiences that support this effort to compile meaningful information that can transform lives.

The venue that I feel is most available for youth to be exposed to peacemaking is the global classroom.  In this peak of social media and international strife, it seems an opportune time to inspire educators to create a learning environment that upholds human dignity and explores what inspires people to be transformed.

There will be topics and themes that need your insight.
