How hope affects students
Cultivating hope for increased learning and achievement
The Hope Scale
“I can think of many ways to get out of a jam.”
“I meet the goals that I set for myself.”
“Even when others get discouraged, I know I can find a way to solve the problem.”
Advise students in the development of clear, attainable goals and outline the steps necessary to achieve them.
Role model hopeful thinking and action and share with students your
own goal-making process and strategies for achieving them.
If students are new to goal-setting, or don’t have high levels of hopeful
thinking, help them “start small” and build on the successes.
Other ideas or strategies to cultivate hope in learners?
Adult learners in particular? Older learners? Learners with disabilities?
Experiences you have had cultivating hope in yourself or others?
