Three Ways to Encourage Courage in the Classroom: 1️⃣ Provide leadership opportunities Give students meaningful roles and responsibilities that allow them to step up and lead. 2️⃣ Empower student voice Create space for students to formulate ideas, share perspectives, and engage in respectful discourse and conversations. 3️⃣ Celebrate failures Normalize mistakes as part of growth and recognize the bravery it takes to try, risk, and learn. Courage grows where students feel safe to lead, speak, and stretch. 💛 #TeachWithHeart #Leadworthy #CKH #CapturingKidsHearts
