Why I Teach: “Radical Optimism”

by Chad Donohue
Teaching Tolerance number 49 Spring 2015

This was a great article about the importance of including optimism with your teachings.  With cynicism and drama at the forefront of pop culture, it is important not to lose sight of the beauty in everyday life.  Donohue practices what he preaches.  He strives to make himself approachable and accessible to his students and I think that is something we as future educators should be mindful of.  He wrote this article from his perspective as an educator, but I think this article would appeal to students and parents as well.
