The Pedagogy of Hope — Join Us!

How do we cultivate hope.... not by ignoring difficult realities, but by building our capacity to navigate them and take purposeful action?

NESA is offering a three-part online learning series exploring The Pedagogy of Hope through research, reflection, and practical application:

• Oct. 6 — Hope Capacity & Holding Two Truths at Once - Ellen Mahoney & Steve Karaiskos

• Nov. 10 — Hope Capacity & The Stories We Tell - LeeAnne Lavender

• Nov. 17 — Hope Capacity & Empathy to Impact - Aaron Moniz

Sessions are Tuesdays, 4:00–5:00 PM Athens time and are open to educators, counselors, school staff, leaders, and parents. All are welcome! 

Interested? Sign up LINK  - I’ll send participants calendar invitations with the Zoom links. Come for one, two, or all three! - Walter Basnight
