The Power of Belief with Brian Wogensen

“Positivity is about feeling like there's meaning to what you're doing and that there's a kind of mystery. When I'm feeling the most positive, and I think when my students are feeling the most positive, is when there's an unknown. There’s a mystery that we're seeking. So there's something drawing us forward. It’s leading us somewhere.”

Brian Wogensen, English teacher, has taught for the past 20 years at the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles, California. He served as an upper school class dean for 6 years before taking on the role of English department chair. In addition to teaching, he is involved in curricular innovation and design and the school’s in-house professional development program. In partnership with a team of Archer seniors, he also helps facilitate Archer's annual interschool Literature &... Conference (archer.org/litand). Listeners are invited to join Brian and Nat on this conversational journey focusing on the power of belief and taking us from the lush hillsides in Tuscany to the vibrant walls of Brian’s English classroom.
