Circles of gratitude create time and space for learning

By Learning Forward
June 2018
Vol. 38 No. 3
Practicing a spirit of gratitude is one of the most profound ways that any of us can enrich our lives. It is an attitude of appreciation and thankfulness for the good that we receive in life. As we honor the past, present, and future, gratitude propels us forward with purpose. The Learning Forward Foundation board of directors creates gratitude circles by giving back to the community through scholarships and grants. We listen carefully to educators and their current research to guide and co-construct our collective practice. In May, the foundation awarded grants to seven professional learning individuals and teams. Among the awardees are teachers, instructional coaches, principals, and central office administrators, representing six U.S. states, Bogota, Colombia, and the Learning Forward affiliate leaders from Illinois
