Not all people feel comfortable sharing in a large group. Can make them more uncomfortable #cdnedchat

In reply to @Owen_Webb, @mwark148, @DanaAriss

DanaAriss - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:17 PM EST

Yes, me too! :) Its that zone of safety which is empathy. We all have those, but hard to be open to it. #cdnedchat

In reply to @missletwiniuk

Q3: How do you build connections beyond the walls of your classroom to build compassion and empathy? #cdnedchat

mwark148 Feb 6 @ 8:22 PM EST

As a leader, I also recognize that some stories are rant-ish and build a negative climate #cdnedchat

In reply to @BSchlacht, @Owen_Webb, @DanaAriss

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:23 PM EST

You can do that in many ways #cdnedchat

In reply to @theedpodcast

Providing snapshots and windows into their lives IS telling their story, even if it seems small and unimportant #cdnedchat

In reply to @TheCandyDish

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4. A barrier to empathy is failing to make dialogue a regular habit in your classroom. Ss need to connect w/ other Ss every day #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: Some people are not fully present. Be in the moment and truly listen. #cdnedchat

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: Surface level sharing, not really realizing what the other person is going through #cdnedchat

WilsonAtOCDSB Feb 6 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4: lack of modelling? Sometimes Ss need to see/hear the language of empathy explicitly explained... #cdnedchat

btcostello05 Feb 6 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4 exp & projecting your exp and feelings on others when they are likely not the same. Overcome it by moving beyond just empathy #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:31 PM EST

Q4: What are some barriers to empathy and how can we overcome them? #cdnedchat

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4. We have to be consistent in how we uphold the worth of Ss. If Ss don’t believe we care, they will not respond to us #cdnedchat

AlexMitch08 Feb 6 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: Modelling and developing empathy is not EASY! But the easy thing is never right to do,and the right thing is never easy to do #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:36 PM EST

Somewhat but you do need that human connection #cdnedchat

A4. Also build empathy into assignments. Then assessment is also a way to connect with students. #cdnedchat

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4. @mwark148 Assessment is a form of empathy. Feedback is a way to show how we care, and that we desire Ss to excel as learners #cdnedchat

MsAGilbert Feb 6 @ 8:40 PM EST

that's a good idea. Can you give an example? #cdnedchat

Q5: How can we address current events in a way in which we can build empathy in our students for others? #cdnedchat

mwark148 Feb 6 @ 8:40 PM EST

Agreed but lack of comments (just number or standard rubric) can be interpreted as cold #cdnedchat

In reply to @Owen_Webb

DanaAriss - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:41 PM EST

When we do a project using the design thinking process, we always start with empathy! #cdnedchat

Q5: Talked about talking about current events today. So conflicted. Some believe you must be fair/unbiased/show both sides, but.. #cdnedchat

MobileAppQueen Feb 6 @ 8:42 PM EST

A4. When Ss only see the surface of the problems and not understand the system or underlying causes. Harder to empathize #cdnedchat

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:42 PM EST

Yes: when we provide Ss an opportunity to respond to a rubric, to increase learning, we change the nature of assessment #cdnedchat

MsAGilbert Feb 6 @ 8:43 PM EST

A5: w/ HS Ss, they often know what's going on in the world and want to voice their opinions/concerns. I give them that space. #cdnedchat

AlexMitch08 Feb 6 @ 8:43 PM EST

Q5: Yes we need to listen to all, but as role models, how can any T defend the discrimination and exclusionary policies of Trump? #cdnedchat

mwark148 Feb 6 @ 8:43 PM EST

Any assignment where students either tell about themselves or give an opinion is an opportunity for sharing & empathy #cdnedchat

A5: explain why people who are unkind need the most kindness in return. Spread love everywhere. #kindnesscounts #kindnessnation #cdnedchat

Late to the game. I'm Janelle. Probably should've been a teacher, using my tech skills to address the community service problem #cdnedchat

Q5: Re: parental/political blowback: Separate the person from the act. Critique the act, discuss implications, not personalities #cdnedchat

A5. @AlexMitch08 In this instance, I don’t focus on what is wrong, but rather on what is right. How should all people be treated? #cdnedchat

A5. Change from defend to understand. There have always been bad gov'ts.....why do they happen? #cdnedchat

A5: A discussion of the Muslim Ban becomes a human rights/social justice discussion. Pro-Trump parents cannot yell about that #cdnedchat

WilsonAtOCDSB Feb 6 @ 8:46 PM EST

A6: prioritize #selfcare! Ask for help. Be compassionate with yourself. Give yourself grace. Accept imperfections. #cdnedchat

Owen_Webb Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6. I am empathetic when I can work WITH Ss. It is easy to make education about power… It has to be about supporting learning #cdnedchat

MissValleau Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: As educators, we need to inform students of truth and accuracy in current events, even when empathy is not present in media. #cdnedchat

mwark148 Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

I think also leads to a discussion of critical thinking and fake news. #cdnedchat

In reply to @AlexMitch08

MsAGilbert Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6: a BIG show of empathy toward myself recently: went on a 2-month leave due to anxiety/stress. Hard decision, but the right one #cdnedchat

WilsonAtOCDSB Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

A6: be a good friend to yourself and try to keep self-talk similar to what you'd say to someone you love. start from within ❤️ #cdnedchat

rondorland Feb 6 @ 8:47 PM EST

These are reasons why we need to role play in schools. https://t.co/Cyb8UqdAxN #cdnedchat #vachat #tlap #nyedchat #edtechchat #musedchat

I agree role play can be effective, but there is no substitute for personal stories from Ss #cdnedchat

MobileAppQueen Feb 6 @ 8:50 PM EST

A6. For some reason,I equated this w/ feeling sorry for myself.As person from a underprivileged background,I found this dangerous #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 6 @ 8:51 PM EST

Taking breaks without guilt. I think I still need to work on that. #cdnedchat
