What can you do to build and sustain empathy? A suggestion: Cultivate listening and tolerance in your organisation.
• Making the effort to encourage listening and tolerance – and modelling these behaviours for others – will build empathy and rapport, and eventually motivation and trust. • The sad fact is, listening and tolerance for other points of view are slowly disappearing.

"School budgets are moral documents, revealing not only how much society values education as a public good, but how we value the children of different communities. Today, with a reactionary administration seeking to privatize public education further, children living in extreme deprivation stand to lose the most."

The way it is usually told, the message Everything is Connected to Everything Else is not fun to hear. It is intended to cause repentance and reformation. More often, of course, it causes guilt, fear, and an uncontrollable urge to avoid environmentalists. Via David Hain

From winning sports teams to globally successful businesses, there are so many examples of how collaboration in teams can produce incredible results. Building and developing a collaborative culture within your team is key to improving the share of knowledge throughout your business, which will ultimately lead to a more efficient working environment. Whilst many people like the idea of working in a collaborative environment, they aren’t always willing to undertake the investment required to establish a fully collaborative workforce.

A group of talented individuals does not necessarily translate into a high performing team. That’s why sometimes the underdog seemingly comes out of nowhere to win. In fact, high performing teams know that to succeed they must depend on each other as much, if not more, than their individual talents. Via David Hain

"When it comes to student return on investment, differences in marketplace value among fields of study means that students are often able to earn higher salaries with significantly less education, because what they make no longer depends on 'how many degrees'" are earned or 'where you go to college,' said Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, during a recent episode of 'In Focus' from Georgetown's School of Continuing Studies.".

“The Thinker,” Auguste Rodin’s bronze sculpture, has become a visual cliché, a common representation of deep thought — a figure, gazing down, chin on hand, completely alone. This is utterly misleading, according to the authors of “The Knowledge Illusion,” which carries the subtitle: “Why We Never Think Alone.” Steven Sloman, a professor at Brown University, and Philip Fernbach, a professor at the University of Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, argue that our intelligence depends on the people and things that surround us, and to a degree we rarely recognize. Knowledge, they say, is a community effort. Sloman answered questions from Mind Matters editor Gareth Cook. Via David Hain

"It could be argued—and probably argued well—that what a student fundamentally needs to know today isn’t much different than what Tom Sawyer or Joan of Arc or Alexander the Great needed to know. Communication.Resourcefulness.Creativity.Persistence.
How true this turns out to be depends on how macro you want to get. If we want to discuss our needs as humans in broad, sweeping themes, then food, water, shelter, connectivity, safety, and some degree of self-esteem pretty much cover it. Via EDTECH@UTRGV

Higher education is going through a time of great change. Some people have begun to question the role that universities play in today's society. Peter McPhee takes a step back in order to explore three fundamental questions: What is higher education? How should we teach in the 21st century? And why does higher education matter? Professor McPhee draws on his extensive experience in the sector to offer a global perspective on the role of higher education in the world today. Via Peter Mellow, Edumorfosis
