Learning With Hope Wonders

Today I finally changed the name of my blog to better reflect what I am learning as I work with others to make hope visible and accessible in our lives.

Learning to hope suggests that we do not know how to hope when we come into this world and that 'someone' has to 'teach' us to hope. I do not believe that is the case. In fact, I have never believed that to be the case. I suppose I chose 'to' hope way back when I started this blog as a way to attend to what we were and are learning in classrooms.

However, I believe that what we are doing in classrooms with the HOPE KIDS: Hope-Focused Service-Learning program at the Hope Foundation of Alberta is incorporating a way of working with hope-focused practices and strategies so as to encourage being with hope as a way of moving toward a personally meaningful future, which is no different than how most of us come into the world.

In this spirit then, I am changing my posts to ask you to share your responses to the kinds of wonders we put out to students to reflect the fact that learning happens everywhere and all the time.

With that in mind ~

Who nurtures your hope and how have they or do they nurture your hope?

By the way, from now on, you will find my new posts on learningwithhope.blogspot.com

Looking forward to seeing you there!!
