Reshaping Evidence: How Can We Better Understand Systems Change?

The BOLD Fellowship brings together leaders from 11 transformational learning environments around the world. The year-long fellowship will explore what it takes to reshape education for a better future. 

Alexander Plato Hakobyan explores how education can move beyond grades to nurture character, purpose, and lifelong learning. He shares a vision for whole-child education that prepares young people not just for academic success, but for meaningful lives.

Before students can learn, they need to feel safe. In this video, explore how the brain responds to stress and why challenging behavior is a form of communication—not defiance. Through the story of Syeda Tun Nisa, a  Teach For Pakistan coach and alumna, you’ll see how a shift in perspective can transform the way we understand and respond to students in the classroom.

As you watch, take a moment to reflect:
When have I interpreted student behavior as defiance instead of communication?
What might that behavior have been expressing beneath the surface?
How might my response change if I first asked, “Is this student feeling safe?”
What is one small shift I could make in how I interpret behavior this week?
