  • When politicians and thought leaders can’t or won’t agree on a basic set of facts, how can we motivate students for the noble pursuit of truth and help them see why it still matters?
  • An unavoidable challenge arises when students realize that no matter how many facts support a certain conclusion, denial and dissent remain.
  • “You have to trust [that] the best information, the truth, will always prevail,” he said, though “that’s tough when you face a crowd of people screaming at you on Twitter in probably not the nicest way.”

  • history tends to prove his assertion right.
  • “I think we are losing the graces of dialogue and respect, and the ability of at least listening to one another a little bit,” he said, reminding me that truth affects people differently.

  • Warm, genuine greetings and attempts to connect can have a large impact.
  • Classrooms based on a foundation of respect encourage people to be kind and the best versions of themselves.

  • What can be done to bring more students into the mainstream and alleviate feelings of marginalization?
  • If the first message that students get about their work is what is wrong or how it is deficient, they are less likely to invest themselves in revision, and less likely to work hard in the future.
  • If students hear what is interesting, special, or unique about their work, they will more likely be open to suggestions for improvement.
  • Create rituals that help everyone laugh and be willing to pause the action to appreciate each other. Congratulate a class when they complete a large project.
