One thing I have been passionate about is getting learners to take daily action. I think when we speak about action, we tell learners to create an action project. This is more like service learning, which is not the same. I wanted my learners to take meaningful, bite-sized action each day to change the way they think, feel, speak, and act. About four years ago, I created the guide using agency daily to explore this idea. The cover looks like this and you can find it here for free.
Within the guide, I created a poster that guides away from doing concrete actions to changing dispositions. I believe this is more powerful than saving the rainforest. When a child internalizes big ideas into their practice, they are creating a disposition of what it means to be a learner. To me, this is more important. Here is one way to achieve this goal.
This idea is not new. About 11 years ago, I heard teachers bring up these practices in our unit planning sessions. They were revolutionary to me, because it went beyond the physical act and internalize how I might change the world in a small way. Mind blown.
