Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

<p> What is perspective? What does it have to do with teaching, leadership, and learning? <em> The Oxford English Dictionary </em> defines perspective as: "A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view." Blending this definition into our instruction, classroom cultures, and relationships, perspective drives all we are and do in our classrooms. Perspectives are bundles of beliefs, a mindset that we each embrace determining how we see one another, our experiences, and possibilities or lack thereof. As teachers, our perspectives directly impact student emotions and their learning, because <a href="http://www.solutionsiq.com/emotions-are-contagious-how-yours-impact-others-around-you/" target="_blank"> emotions are contagious </a> .</p>
