**Academic Optimism: Classroom Applications (Part III)** is a comprehensive course designed for educators who are committed to developing optimism in their classrooms and schools. This is the third course of a three-part series. Similar to courses one and two, the focus is on the tenets of academic optimism. Teachers learn about ACEs, and they examine their own mindsets about impoverished students. Specific tools and strategies are shared for classroom and school use to foster learning environments that promote optimism regardless of students’ socioeconomic status and prior learning experiences.
