    Q1: Why is it important for staff and students to empathize with each other? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:35 PM EST
    A0: It's about feeling more than understanding. Actually experiencing another's perspective. #IEedchat Jed Tech TOSA / Math Geek @puhsd

    a1 It's learning's lubricant #ieedchat it makes everything move smoothly
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:36 PM EST
    Yes! Feeling even more than understanding. #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler, @puhsd
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:36 PM EST
    Thanks! I guess that's why I'm a sucker for those foreign films about feelings #IEedchat

    Good to see you brother! by the by - I have a scheduled visit to Lindsay - 5/6-5/7... mayb a coffee meetup is in order #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:37 PM EST
    LOL, that may be the case, or maybe it's ok in other cultures for a man to be in touch with emotions openly #ieedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:37 PM EST
    I agree, getting to the WHY. #IEedchat
    In reply to @BethHeyden, @puhsd
  • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:37 PM EST
    A1: I don't feel connected if someone doesn't try to see my view. Connection leads to more learning and better environment #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:37 PM EST
    Ironically I am listening to The Smiths right now as I do #IEedchat

  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 27 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: Empathy for others allows us to have compassion. No better saying than "There but for the grace of God go I" #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: Important because Ss need to feel understood, respected & cared for in order to learn & staff need to feel the same #IEedchat
  • kikins777 Feb 27 @ 10:39 PM EST
    A1: Students can sense when their teachers genuinly care for them. They open up when they know they can trust you. #ieedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:39 PM EST
    I like that you bring up coping. Empathy seems to really help in that necessary skill. #IEedchat
    In reply to @BethHeyden
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:39 PM EST
    The most ackward thing was high school, since many people thought I was a jock, my classes and grades showed otherwise.#IEedchat

    Q1b: How do we build empathy between staff and students? #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:40 PM EST
    A1:Ts need to recognize that you can push Ss, but there are days when you have to read them and slow down and connect with them #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:41 PM EST
    Also to remember Empathy allows for...hugs, and we should all hug more, just ask @iamkidpresident #ieedchat
    In reply to @iamkidpresident
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:41 PM EST
    And it makes such a difference in the classroom #IEedchat
    In reply to @kikins777
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:41 PM EST
    A1: strong empathy leads to students and staff feeling understood which is key to building strong class chemistry #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:42 PM EST
    A1: It's cliche, but caring about 1 another = necessary; add value to any experience (including learning); more meaningful/lasting #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    empathy is the lubricant of learning, it makes the process run smooth #ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A2: staff can listen to what SS have to say and ask about their day or how they're feeling and really listen #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1b: Staff needs to share about themselves & be genuinely interested in learning who the Ss are as people. Respect each other. #IEedchat
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    A1b: Care. Ts need to realize Ss are humans too and vice versa. Caring creates empathetic people and builds bonds and trust. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    Absolutely, them understanding that you are human as well, that we are no different from one another #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:43 PM EST
    I wonder if we follow this thread more where it goes, so if we have strong class chemistry, then...#ieedchat

    Q2: Why is it important for students to empathize with each other? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1b: I would say have staff participate in Student for a day experience: https://t.co/S5rtUEkmox https://t.co/nSJpQoqknm #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1B:You share more about your personal life with them, create situations during class that allows more sharing #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:44 PM EST
    A1b: staff can listen to SS and ask how their day is or how they're feeling and really listen to the speaker #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:44 PM EST
    a2 This is something teaching 8th grade you learn as T, learning and social acceptance doesn't happen otherwise #ieedchat

  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A2: Same reason as staff - I think it's worth noting that empathy is NOT universally intuitive. Needs some teaching/learning. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A1B: Showed part of Schindler's List almost 15 years ago w/out preparing Ss w/adequate empathy. They weren't ready. #Disaster #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    Agree! It would allow staff to get a better understanding of life from the Ss perspective. #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A1b: asking about their weekends & families, not just academics, and really listening. I share family experiences, too #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    Interesting, what might have been different if Ss were prepared? #ieedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:45 PM EST
    A2:Ss need to respect other students, so that there can be harmony or at least some balance in the classroom. It's not Terror dome #IEedchat
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A2: When Ss can empathize w/eo they may realize that kid who they picked on, or ignored is just like them. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:46 PM EST
    There's tons of talk that Ss are actually in an empathy desert in schools these days #ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A2: also culture. But also for them to grow into empathetic adults #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:46 PM EST
    A2: Staff have more life experience, more reference to learn empathy. Ss are hormonal, confused by feelings. Need to work it out. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:46 PM EST
    Every Monday after our bell ringer, I take 2-3 mins and we share aloud in class. Makes a big difference #IEedchat
    In reply to @MrsKCharlton
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:47 PM EST
    What we are more alike than we're different...that's just crazy talk (: #ieedchat
    In reply to @BethHeyden
  • AshleyMSJC5 Feb 27 @ 10:47 PM EST
    A2: Let me state the obvious: Ss will make fun of and bully other Ss they don't have empathy for. They need to be taught empathy. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:48 PM EST
    They don't realize how many more similarities they have between each other. They focus on the opposites #IEedchat
    In reply to @BethHeyden
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:48 PM EST
    we all need the obvious stated at times to bring it to light #ieedchat Great points

    Q2b: How do we build students' ability to empathize with each other? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:48 PM EST
    I would agree. Especially in world not too far from @blackmirror , like 15 Mil Merits episode:https://t.co/h1EH70hlCN #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli, @blackmirror
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A2: it's important because they get to experience that just because someone is different from them it doesn't make them the enemy #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
    a2b Give Ss opportunities to discover their similarities and provide opportunities for vulnerability #ieedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
    Ss are getting more gamified without having human feeling experience Needs addressing. #IEedchat
    In reply to @mathkaveli
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
    A2b: We need to discuss. The more discussion and open we are about it the more the Ss won't feel "weird" acting on it. #IEedchat
  • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
    Q2b: give them opportunities to talk to each other. We do a lot of math talks so they understand everyone struggles #IEedchat

    It's okay to be messy. #IEedchat
    In reply to @kikins777
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:50 PM EST
    A2B:It starts with classroom norms like my #1 which is treat everyone like you want to be treated and that is with respect. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:51 PM EST
    That's the typical culprit(s) that are blamed, also the same blame goes for shorter attention spans...interesting #ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2: Because life is hard at times for everyone, itmakes a difference to know not alone. Teens really need that understanding. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2b: Talk Not type, or watch, or play. Talk. Maybe create something. And then Talk Don't let conversation become lost art. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:51 PM EST
    A2Bcont.. If they are not following it, I call them out and remind them. We respect everyone's view even if we don't agree with it.#IEedchat
  • kikins777 Feb 27 @ 10:51 PM EST
    My Ss are some of the most empathetic kids I know. We have a special needs student and they are his main protectors. ❤️ #ieedchat #empathy
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:52 PM EST
    Yes, the f2f interactions in btw is huge for Ss to understand #ieedchat
    In reply to @MathButler
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:52 PM EST
    A2b: Do activities with them where they have to interact with each other to build class morale. Guide them and lead by example #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:52 PM EST
    I like that - opportunities to be vulnerable. Ss will rarely do that on their own. #IEedchat

  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 27 @ 10:52 PM EST
    Q3: In what ways is empathy a foundation for collaboration? #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:53 PM EST
    Yes, it's probably the only place in life where it's safe to be this way and expect positive results #ieedchat
    In reply to @DeatraLee_Edu
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:53 PM EST
    I love this tweet. Talking in a math class. It can totally work. Takes practice, and some structure. #IEedchat
    • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:49 PM EST
      Q2b: give them opportunities to talk to each other. We do a lot of math talks so they understand everyone struggles #IEedchat
  • kikins777 Feb 27 @ 10:53 PM EST
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:54 PM EST
    A3: FoC can be getting "teams" of Ss together and have them ask questions of each other & discuss. It will come. Ss need guidance #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:54 PM EST
    a3 is cornerstone for all things, it is literally the foundation for which building into the future makes sense. #ieedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Feb 27 @ 10:55 PM EST
    A3: once we empathize with someone it creates a better work environment which leads to strong collaboration #IEedchat
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:55 PM EST
    Teach and others will follow. It's a lead by example kind of thing that they may not get at home. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A2b: It starts w/ the class culture. Ts models empathy & expects it from Ss. Give opportunities to discuss & share & relate. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Feb 27 @ 10:56 PM EST
    A3:It allows us to lower our guard and realize not everyone is as they portray.We all have strngth and weaknses and were all human #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Feb 27 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A3: Effectively collaborate & work together people need to feel understood & respected, it allows for vulnerability & creativity. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Feb 27 @ 10:57 PM EST
    Any final thoughts on Building Empathy? #IEedchat
  • MrsKCharlton Feb 27 @ 10:57 PM EST
    A3: it's hard to work with people you don't understand & who don't understand you #IEedchat
  • BethHeyden Feb 27 @ 10:58 PM EST
    FT: It needs to begin with the school staff, if the example is set, others won't be afraid to follow. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Feb 27 @ 10:59 PM EST
    A3: Collaboration is more healthy with diverse perspectives. Diverse perspectives are more healthy with empathy. #IEedchat
  • mathkaveli Feb 27 @ 10:59 PM EST
    FT Love the convo tonight, it's a much needed convo we should stay on point for our Ss all year...feeling a little like...#ieedchat
