Earn 3 hours toward IPDP with Building Empathy: Accessing & IncreasingYour Empathy to Enhance Classroom Results®
Empathy is not only a trait – it is a skill that can be developed through intention.
For educators, accessing & increasing your empathy will help you reach your students more effectively, leading to higher levels of achievement & success in your classroom.
Increasing empathy also helps improve health & relationships and reduces burn-out.
This program is different from traditional courses as it teaches the science behind how our empathy works, not only equipping you with the ability to tap into your existing empathy, but to increase your empathy to connect in new, productive ways, in real time.
Building Empathy is a self-guided, on-demand video course investigating the scientific bases of empathy and how we can each tap into and develop our own empathy further. Throughout this course, we will explore:
- The intrinsic ways our brains & eyes can trick us
- How DNA naturally causes a variety of biases
- What culture is & how it impacts our interactions
- Why diversity is an integral part of life
- The importance of recognizing & developing our own emotional intelligence
- Why listening is key to true empathy
