In schools, we often challenge our students to dream. Dream bigger! Yet simply dreaming is not enough. Aspirations is defined as the ability to dream and set goals for the future while being inspired in the present to reach those dreams. We will examine strategies to support students who are in a state of Hibernation, Imagination, and Perspiration, with the goal of helping all students achieve their aspirations. Participants will consider how to attain a healthy balance of dreaming and doing and will learn how to help students realize that they must use their voices to take action in order to achieve their aspirations in the present and in the future.
• Understand the Aspirations Profile quadrants of Hibernation, Imagination, Perspiration, and Aspiration.
• Examine how the Aspirations Profile impacts teaching and learning.
• Explore instructional strategies to support students in balancing dreaming and doing to reach their aspirations.
• Develop individualized action steps for utilizing the Aspirations Profile at participating schools.
