I heard about a great experience illustrating awe in learning that was shared by a group of middle school students and their teacher in Grand Island, New York. They joined me on this podcast sharing their reflections and insights. As you hear their story consider where these elements of Awe appeared:
Awe occurs when we experience something much larger than ourselves
Awe leads to the need to reframe one’s understanding of the world.
Awe often brings forth emotions of humility, gratitude, and compassion.
Awe is linked to prosocial behavior: people are more likely to help others after experiencing awe.
