If You Can't Envision Change, with Dr. Pedro Noguera
Change in a school rarely starts with a new program. It starts with an adult who can picture something better for the young people in front of them, and then does something about it.
In this video, Dr. Pedro Noguera talks about what it takes to create change.
From picturing it to practicing it
Picturing a better school is the first step. Getting there happens in small, everyday choices: the check-in at the door, the second chance, the moment an adult notices a student pulling away and decides to act.
That's the heart of Notice Choose Act®. Notice what's happening. Choose what would actually help. Act on it. Every adult on campus can practice it, and every time they do, they become more of the influence they want to be.
Bring the conversation to your students
Dr. Noguera also appears in Building Bridges, a film from A Trusted Space®. It's made for middle school through college students to watch with their teachers and other trusted adults, then talk through together. It's free, and it comes with a discussion guide.
In Compassion Is a Verb, Dr. Noguera explains why compassion is something you do.
