It is said that a major challenge of adolescence is surviving disillusionment without becoming cynical" (Phillips, 2013). This article examines resources that teachers can use to work through this challenge. Phillips also states that he believes, and I agree, that "the most important way to combat cynicism and help our children develop both integrity and a sense of empowerment is through modeling". We should all be examples integrity to any students, mentees, and children that we come into contact with. Great ideas and a great article.
