Ep. 10: Kelly Priest on EMPATHY + Real SEL

Empathy is a wide-ranging topic. We began by clarifying the differences between emotional empathy, perspective taking, and authentically caring behaviors. Then we briefly discussed the different ways that people’s empathy is expressed - whether in ways that we expect and can relate to or not, and we looked at reasons for some of the those differences. We concluded with some very practical starting points for providing the most effective Social Emotional Learning in our classrooms.
