Teachers share their experience on how YPI can help to build meaningful connections for students, widening their scope beyond the school community and connecting them to what’s going on around them, where they live.
"We don't only talk about heavy things, like we pair it with silly dog videos, and these sorts of things as well. So it's not as though the whole tone the whole tone is, is negative or dark or traumatic. But it's more like, this is the state of the world. And you need to understand that so you can lift it. And I think that I think that kids always surprise you and rise to the occasion."
Present opportunities for your students to make meaningful connections between what they are learning and the community outside the school walls SO THAT they can grow their own connections to and understanding of the community in which they live and the issues facing this community, and can widen their scope beyond their own day-to-day and connect to the world around them.
