Empathy Masterclass for Teachers
The 5 Core Empathy Skills for Teachers
This interactive online Empathy Masterclass for Teachers prepares educators to facilitate empathy skilfully in the classroom. Empathy is a competency. It needs to be understood, but more importantly, it needs to be practised.
Children need to keep up with the lightning pace of modern society and increasing levels of intolerance and polarization. This requires great flexibility and an ability to deal with uncertainty. Problem solving, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, flexibility, social skills and leadership are crucial skills for participation in the 21st century. Empathy is part of each and every one of these.
In our live Online Classroom, teachers will practice their empathic capacities. Together we will also learn to apply empathic skills with students in the classroom as well as facilitate them to empathise with others. Teachers will learn how to encourage and respect personal expression while being on the lookout for prejudice and intolerance.
