Hope+-+Expanded+Definitions

Feel free to explore these conceptions of the dimensions of hope.

We have summarized the work of Dr. Duncan-Andrade, and encourage you to pursue greater context by reading his paper (12 pages), or watching his lecture (2 hours).

Links for both resources are provided at the bottom of this page.


 * False Hope** - The Enemy of Hope

Fails to cultivate students' control of destiny

 * Critical Hope** - The Enemy of Hopelessness

**The Rose Worth Celebrating**
 * __TUPAC SHAKUR's MATH__**

IF: Concrete = Soil THEN: Each classroom could be a crack IF: Damaged petals = Indignation, Tenacity & Audacity THEN: Celebrate, don't reform

THUS: We must nurture our students through the cracks

These ideas are drawn from the article and lecture by Dr. Jeff Duncan-Andrade, //Note to Educators//: Hope Required When Growing Roses in Concrete. The video of the lecture, which is a hefty 2 hours or so, is [|here]. Tip: if you watch the video, skip ahead to around 13:00, that's when the A/V dept finally gets everything up and running smoothly.

The article on which the lecture is based appeared in the Harvard Educational Review, and is [|here].
