At the same time, educators should be willing to help students as they shape and achieve their own aspirations for their learning.

To make this work, schools need to equip students with the tools to provide nuanced, constructive suggestions. According to Brion-Meisels, this means building a school culture that:

  • exposes students to different ways of learning and approaching problems;
  • normalizes the giving and receiving of feedback;
  • gives students the time, space, and power to construct and test their own ideas.
