Third Millennium Values

I deeply appreciate and respect the new focus and push for 21st-century learning outcomes.  I just don’t think they go far enough.

Here are the four core character traits that I believe are foundational to creating those outcomes, as well as healthier individuals, communities, and society.

1. Agency: I choose to take responsibility for what happens in my world. (Heart)
2. Empathy: I value your reality as I do my own. (Soul)
3. Curiosity: What I do not know matters more than what I do know. (Mind)
4. Stamina: I avoid bad pain by pursuing good pain. (Strength)
