Educators Living in the Joy of Gratitude

Twelve webinars feature educators from four countries sharing their experiences learning, living and then sharing the three principles with students. The series helps viewers realize what it is like to teach from this understanding. Kathy Marshall of the National Resilience Resource Center reports educators often lack confidence to begin teaching the MGI principles, even though they learn and live the new understanding in their own lives.
