Working from our own innate resilience and well-being, we the staff and teachers at Lopez High School engage those qualities in our students. We strive to let go of our tight control, be patient, and trust the process, knowing that teaching will become more effortless and enjoyable, and will respond to all the recommendations from the research on resilience and on nurturing teachers and successful schools.
It is important that we realize that we do make a difference in our students' lives. When we care, believe in, and embrace "our students," we are not only enabling their healthy development and successful learning, but creating inside-out social change; they are building a creative and compassionate citizenry.
