Empathy 2.0

Created by Steven Stack

7 modules 1 hours, 30 minutes 3 Credit Hours social emotional learning

Brought to you by instructor Steven Stack, creator of The Empathetic Classroom, this course looks at ways to move on from the worldwide pandemic, while honoring the past and learning from it. In the past year, students had many things taken from them: school, hanging out with friends, freedom, hope, and innocence.

With this course, each session will highlight one specific topic relating to moving on. There will also be activities for each session that will help your students own the past, embrace their own and others’ narratives and scars, create a stronger classroom community, find ways to be where their feet are planted, and learn to play again.

    The Fourth session, “Life: The Impermanent Improv’’ is all about the realization that life is not a play; it’s improv. Listening and responding, thinking on your feet and the phrase “Yes and . . .” are all vital in order to go with the flow of and making the most of this thing called life.
