Welcome to #EdChatME! Tonight we ask: how might we improve school culture, community, and learning outcomes using the power of empathy?

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Let's start with introductions! And for fun - if empathy is "walking a mile in your shoes" ... what would we be wearing? #EdChatME

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Jessica, 6th grade, year 2, Lincoln, ME. Shoes, the most comfortable black shoes I brought for summer work at walmart. #lifesaver #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Jon Pratt here, Asst Head for Academics @foxcroftacademy ... my shoes? Brown Merrills ... just dressy enough for work, but simple. #EdChatME

jessicawrd3 Sep 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Jess Ward Principal Madison High School. Walking a mile in my shoes in comfy flip flops, not ready to give them up! #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Good evening, #edchatme! Matt-Dir of Curr-Inst-Assmt @AOS94ME. And I'd wear boots. #madeforwalking #soivebeentold

@jonpratt #EdChatME Hello, I'm Garth Holman, I teach college botany in Maine, carhartts and hiking shoes for outdoor teaching in fall.

T_HEB Sep 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Hello, I am a 4th & 5th grade T in Portland. My mile would be spent in chacos. #edchatme #UNEedu

As much as I love my Merrill's ... always a bit sad to give up my summer Chacos! #EdChatME

mracarmichael Sep 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Ashton Carmichael 5-8 Library. You would be wearing slippers for your commute every morning! #edchatME

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Q1: What does empathy mean to you? What does it look like in practice - both to give and to receive? #EdChatME

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Would love to not be wearing any shoes though...but that isn't really the safest in a school setting. #edchatme

Happy Monday, #edchatme! Glad to be back! Jennifer, H.S. math in central Maine -- and my feet move so fast, you can't see my shoes!

MichaelisMath - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1: Empathy means pausing, recognizing we never know the entire story, & adjusting what & when we need to, for each others' needs. #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Here's Q1 again for tonight's #EdChatME live chat on "Building a Culture of Empathy" https://t.co/YQ4ISylZgd

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Lots of love for the flip flops and sandals in #EdChatME tonight ... sounds like we're all mourning the transition to fall a bit! ;-)

garthraven Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#EDchatME A2: A pause and reflect before responding is a basis for empathy for me, and it should be mutual.

alex12emm Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@jonpratt A1: connecting at a level way beyond 'likes' 'RTs' and clapping. Embracing humanity through experiences and obstacles #EdChatME

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: Using different learning activities, modifying activities for different learners. Having the ss realize I am a learner too. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1) #empathy to me means understanding perspective. All facts have perspective, so #empathy is the key to finding real truth. #EdChatME

debwhite Sep 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#edchatme https://t.co/nEg22j8nvr

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1 For me, empathy is pushing beyond just imagining someone's perspective, but really trying to feel it at an emotional level. #EdChatME

jessicawrd3 Sep 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: two sides to every story...no judgements until you hear both. My job is to listen... #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Totally agree about the pause, @garthraven #EdChatME

T_HEB Sep 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@K_Deegan1 Welcome to the group! #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@jessicawrd3 agree, & i see empathy as being more active than listening. It's about understanding and acting as a result. #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Super duper psyched to see some #PSTMaine folks joining #EdChatME again this year - welcome! Great to have your voices in the mix!

@DrewetteCard agreed! we can't act appropriately if we don't truly listen #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Q2: What personal circumstances and/or environmental conditions help - and hinder - our ability to be empathetic? #EdChatME

Hope_Andreychak Sep 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Hi i'm Hope. Im a PST at #UNEedu. I'm excited to get involved in the conversation tonight! #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @jessicawrd3 Nice clarification that listening isn't always enough for empathy to be received ... action = proof #EdChatME

garthraven Sep 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#EdChatME Maslow's hierarchy jumps to mind.

MichaelisMath - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: Sometimes I feel spread too thin; I can feel defensive when really I just need to hit pause. What helps? Pausing! :) #edchatme

GeoffCyr Sep 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@jonpratt @DrewetteCard @jessicawrd3 I've always liked the distinction between "hearing" and "listening" for that reason #EdChatME

SamMMacDonald96 Sep 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@MichaelisMath Adjusting to suit each others' needs is a key ingredient for a functional classroom. So important! #edchatme #UNEedu

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: I feel like advisory times would help. Being able to really connect w/ss. Always being a disciplinarian would hinder for me. #edchatme

GeoffCyr Sep 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@jonpratt @DrewetteCard @jessicawrd3 Hearing = in one ear, out the other, Listening = understanding #edchatme

T_HEB Sep 26 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2 Listening to understand is a habit of mind that benefits empathy as is couching assumptions, knowing your blindspots. #edchatme

KayBlakeEDU Sep 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Hello, I am a PST studying Elementary Ed at #Uneedu! #Edchatme

josephaiken11 Sep 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2 Having a strong community always helps etablish an empathetic culture. Whether it be in a classroom or elsewhere #UNEedu #edchatme

jessicawrd3 Sep 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2: Every one of us has their own "stuff" going on, pausing and being present are important, daily yoga practice = saving grace #EdChatME

GeoffCyr Sep 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2: Inner drive, interpersonal friendships/conflicts, constraints like time and money all influence our ability to empathize #edchatme

alicebarr Sep 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@MsMeservey I love how advisory gives kids a safe adult that will be empathetic and they in turn learn how to empathize. #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2 Somewhat kidding, but coffee sure does help in the morning :) Boils down to: need to take care of ourselves to give empathy. #EdChatME

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@josephaiken11 I agree. Showing the ss that THEY matter, not just what they do. Love the Fest days my school has for this. #edchatme

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@alicebarr Wish we had that time at my school. Sounds like we might be headed there though! #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2) fixed mindsets get in the way of empathy. They lock us into a tunnel vision that skews any user-based end goal & result #edchatme

jessicawrd3 Sep 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@jonpratt True that! Coffee & yoga can't help others if you don't take care of yourself! #EdChatME

alex12emm Sep 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

alicebarr Sep 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@MsMeservey Hope you do, it’s amazing! #EdChatME

@alicebarr @MsMeservey I *hope* for this, but am thinking: is this goal explicit? & what PD do we offer re: empathy skills? Hmm... #EdChatME

ThatGuyDragon Sep 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A2 holding onto the idea: it could always be worse, or someone has it worse. #uneedu #edchatme

garthraven Sep 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A2: Being perceptive about when students are not in a place to return empathy; everyone has a harder road than we know. #EDChatMe

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Glad you could make it, @briley8557 #EdChatME

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@jonpratt @alicebarr True, interesting thought question.7-8 are implementing BARR this year. That might be where advisor comes in. #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@jonpratt @alicebarr @MsMeservey oooh... I like this thought. So, how might we design PD with empathy integrated throughout? #edchatme

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Q3: We all want to be understood, and to understand. If building empathy is a priority, what comes first & why? #EdChatME

briley8557 Sep 26 @ 8:53 PM EDT

#Edchatme as a Building leader, it is important to remember that this is still a job! There is life beyond the classroom. Ppl need space.

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard What kind of contexts promote different mindsets? And how might we make our school environs promote growth? #EdChatME

GeoffCyr Sep 26 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @jonpratt @alicebarr @MsMeservey Ending sit and get is a good start. Personalize PD around T goals and interests #edchatme

MichaelisMath - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A3: Listening, listening, listening. And remembering that it's ALL a big deal in h.s. What I can shrug off now, I couldn't then. #edchatme

MsMeservey Sep 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @jonpratt @alicebarr By practicing.I like what @WickedDecent did at @EdCampWME last year with the makerspace&empathy.#edchatme

alicebarr Sep 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @jonpratt @MsMeservey Talking about Mindfulness this year which includes awareness of others #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Sep 26 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3: Relationships & connections. The pathway to he head is thru the heart. Empathy encompasses the entire learning process. #edchatme

Here's Q6 again for tonight's #EdChatME live chat on "Building a Culture of Empathy" https://t.co/vvxCEBdsrH

A6: in @EdCampLDRME sessions admins & Ts shared role struggles honestly - hopefully that empathy carried back to districts a bit! #edchatme

A6: Sincere greetings, remembering others name, and extending small gestures of help to colleagues goes a long way. #EdChatME

A6 Already mentioned, but give Ts a strong voice in developing PD, and use design thinking to ensure empathy for both Ts & Ss. #EdChatME

A6 Also mentioned earlier, but talk about stuff that isn't work. Hows the family? How 'bout them Red Sox! We are whole people. #EdChatME

#NEXTSTEPS: OK #EdChatME - time to think about how the rubber hits the road. How will we put tonight's thoughts on empathy into practice?

MichaelisMath - Moderator Sep 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

#NextSteps for #edchatme: Talk about it, talk about it, talk about it! Share with *everyone* that we come at Qs from an empathy perspective.

#nextsteps I really like the idea of pausing. so that way I am listening, not just hearing. And learning more DEEPdt. #EdChatME

alicebarr Sep 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MsMeservey I also like trying to be better about pausing. #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator Sep 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#NEXTSTEPS I want to integrate design thinking practices in more widespread ways. It's a powerful, empathy driven model. #EdChatME
