  • "The best fighter is never angry." Teach Different with Lao Tzu - Anger

    Is anger always self-destructive?

    Anger is an emotion that all of us have to manage throughout our lives. Students get angry with their teachers, friends, and parents. It’s important for them to develop a self-awareness around their anger so that they can decide when getting angry, or remaining calm, is the right response to a situation which aggrieves them.

    Join Steve and Dan Fouts for an unforgettable conversation about anger that you can recreate in your classroom using the Teach Different 3-Step Method.

  • "He has the most who is content with the least." Teach Different with Diogenes - Happiness

    What does it take to be happy?

    Students think that more is better - more money, influence, friends and good grades. The idea of cutting back on desire isn’t attractive, yet we can’t have it all. Throughout life students must make smart choices about what they want and how much.

  • "Alone we can do little. Together we can do so much." Teach Different with Hellen Keller - Cooperation

    How do we know if working with others will make us better off?

    Cooperation is not a foreign concept for students. They are told at all stages of life that it is important to cooperate with others. It is also the case that they are expected to be self-reliant and not afraid to accept the hard work that comes with doing things alone.

  • "You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say." Teach Different With Martin Luther - Responsibility

    How do you know when you should speak out against injustice?

    Responsibility is a scary word for students. It means that they should take ownership over their own thoughts and actions and not blame others for what happens. Sometimes other people’s actions impact their lives and force them to consider what they should or should not do. Feelings of responsibility strike at the heart of ethical decision-making.

  • "Power must never be trusted without a check." Teach Different With John Adams - Social Awareness

    Should we trust people with power?

    Students are no strangers to power. They have parents, coaches, and teachers exerting power over them and telling them what to do. Students slowly develop a moral sensibility towards authority figures and are quick to point out when they feel power is being used in negative and positive ways.
