Developing Empathy

 

Framework

When we put ourselves in another person’s shoes, we are often more sensitive to what that person is experiencing and are less likely to tease or bully them. By explicitly teaching students to be more conscious of other people’s feelings, we can create a more accepting and respectful school community.

Additional Resources

  • Happy Faces encourages students to show empathy to classmates having a bad day.

Helen Keller on Optimism | eSkills | Happiness | Community | Harmony

Helen Keller on Optimism | eSkills | Happiness | Community | Harmony | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend."

Decades before the dawn of the positive psychology movement and a century before what neuroscience has taught us about the benefits of optimismHelen Keller — the remarkable woman who grew up without sight and hearing until, with the help of her teacher Annie Sullivan, she learned to speak, read, write, and inhabit the life of the mind with such grace and fierceness that made her one of history’s most inspired intellectual heroes — penned a timeless treatise on optimism as a philosophy of life. Simply titled Optimism(public librarypublic domain), it was originally published in 1903 and written — a moment of pause here — after Keller learned to write on a grooved board over a sheet of paper, using the grooves and the end of her index pencil to guide her writing.

Bigotry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bigotry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The origin of the word bigot and bigoterie (bigotry) in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of "religious hypocrite". This meaning still survives in Italian ( bigotto) and French ( bigot).

In English the word "bigot" refers to a person whose habitual state of mind includes an obstinate, irrational, or unfair intolerance of ideas, opinions, ethnicity, or beliefs that differ from their own, and intolerance of the people who hold them.[1][2]
