Cultivating Empathy

Too often, as has become glaringly apparent in our current national climate, an emphasis on difference has potential for creating misunderstandings that lead to violence. Developing empathy will help students see others as human--individuals with feelings, beliefs, reasons--regardless of ethnicity, gender, and ideology.

As a result of this webinar, participants will:

• Learn the guidelines for using audiovisual testimony to develop affective recognition in students
• Learn new strategies to add cross-cultural perspectives to the curriculum
• Explore multimedia activities and resources that focus on socio-emotional learning
