Consider Mali’s expectation that students demonstrate persistence and manage impulsivity; how he lionizes honesty and courage, and sparks wonder and the inclination to question. These are qualities that can make the difference between enduring success and a cycle of hardship for students.

In this module, you will explore strategies for developing these and other essential dispositions in your students that will impact them in the most profound ways—today, this year, and for a lifetime.
