Yes

The power of a simple word is profound. Yes is one of those words. I think less about the use of the word in some particular context and more in its function to inspire. Yes, with a smile is what we strive to provide in any industry, any relationship, any context. Unless of course, you're one of those other people. The negative people that suck the fun and function out of every breath on earth. We don't like those people. Especially if they call themselves realists. Really, they're not.

In a classroom, Yes is transformative. Yes, empowers and inspires students towards more. If we create the structure in our classrooms that enables more Yes, then we'll be see positive change and growth. This is choice architecture. This is our job as teachers.

Remember, change is inevitable, but growth must be guided.

Be a guide.
