Can Teaching Optimism Combat The Pandemics & Improve Voter Turnout?

ATLANTA - Oct. 1, 2020 - PRLog -- Anyone who viewed the first presidential debate might be very concerned about next month's election. In fact, after months of watching the Coronavirus death toll rise and increasing racial tension, you couldn't blame anyone for having a dismal outlook for the future of the US. But there is hope. According to thought leader, Hotep, the solution is in teaching optimism.

For years, schools have been struggling to find out how to help students become more resilient and stay engaged; especially those in the most vulnerable communities. But Hustle University founder, Hotep says he has the answer. His evidence-based program has been teaching optimism in schools for the past ten years to successfully improve student engagement and self-efficacy.

Optimism is defined as hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something. A new body of research states that optimism can actually be taught. "Teaching optimism isn't about hoping for a positive outcome, it's about working towards it," says the educational consultant." That's why optimism is the key, it doesn't just make people feel more positive, it empowers them to take action. In this case, that action is turning out to vote.

Hustle University is an education consulting firm that provides evidence-based interventions, professional development and curriculum to K-12 schools.
