Nurturing Kindness in Classrooms, Schools, and Beyond | Teaching Channel

Kindness is more than just a simple gesture or a random act; it's a mindset that focuses on treating one another with respect, empathy, and inclusivity. As an educator, you play a powerful role in teaching interpersonal skills that promote a healthy school environment. In this course, you will set micro-goals for practicing empathy, revitalize existing lessons with SEL best practices, and guide students in crafting a PR plan to spread awareness about using kindness to address bullying. Learn how to shift perspectives with a visual representation of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors, and curate a two-month Kindness Calendar to infuse your classroom with intentional acts of compassion. By nurturing students' kindness and compassion, you’ll lay the foundation for a welcoming school community, and help students become caring individuals in the world.
