smithno2 Jun 7 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@memayer21 @WeberEducation I would be careful to use this as a crutch w Ts. Can we act our way into strong empathy? #divergED

jacq_mccarthy Jun 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Ss need to connect to world outside school to expose them to different & opposing perspectives. Some push-back is healthy. #divergED

acottos Jun 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: make the effort to build it into class time. Model the behaviors you want to see. Teach a few Ss specifics and build upon it. #divergED

drangelapeery Jun 7 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@WeberEducation Hmmmm, is mindfulness more about self-reflection? I think of empathy as "outward" where mindfulness is "inward." #divergED
