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.

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]

Toilet Paper and (Instructional) Tolerance

Toilet Paper and (Instructional) Tolerance | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
This post was co-authored by @BeckyFisher73 and @ELeclere01. So, which do you prefer - over or under?  Just how did that preference come about?  Is it really a personal preference or is it somethin...

 

Now, we elementary and secondary educators are hearing loud and clear that while the 3 R’s are still essential, the 4 C’s – Creativity,Collaboration, Communication, and Critical thinking – are the most highly valued skills with which our students can leave our buildings. 

 

We happen to believe that navigating your Choices to find the Comforts that allow you to be most productive adds two more C’s to the equation.  Thus, we must examine our practices, structures and policies to evolve with the rest of the world and build an understanding of our personal preferences and how we navigate the preferences of others. 

 

How can we, as educators, revisit our “toilet paper”-like decisions in the context of preparing kids to make their own choices that will drive their comfort and either exploit or diminish their creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking and future success in school and elsewhere?

Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | #Society #Moral #Tolerance #Virtue 

Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | #Society #Moral #Tolerance #Virtue  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[1][2][3][4] Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist.[5][6] In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[1][2][7] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[8][9] which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists.[9][10][11]

The term "atheism" originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society.[12] With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves using the word "atheist" lived in the 18th century during the Age of Enlightenment.[13] The French Revolution, noted for its "unprecedented atheism," witnessed the first major political movement in history to advocate for the supremacy of human reason.[14]

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.

The video is very interesting! It's a good idea to translate this video  in other languages. What do you think about it? It is just an idea!
