“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” Teach Different with Abraham Lincoln - Self-Determination

Do we have control of our future? Students are fed the consistent message that they can achieve anything in life if they work hard at it. They are in control of their future. Students are also aware that much of their future is out of their control. No matter how hard they try, they will never achieve certain things. These two forces, the internal force of their own desires and the external force of the world acting upon them, conspire to shape their life experiences. Join Steve and Dan Fouts for an unforgettable conversation about self-determination that you can recreate in your classroom using the Teach Different 3-Step Method.
