_____________________________________________
After teaching health for 19 years, and putting together my own curriculum for all those years, I’ve collected what I feel are the best resources and lessons to help students understand and choose empathy.
These lessons will help students embrace life’s hardships and be proud of their own life story.
_____________________________________________
You will be able to challenge your classes to respect differences, to see people for who they really are, and to see that if we sat down and got to know almost anyone, we’d see we had things in common.
_____________________________________________
Lessons will aid you in talking about anger and what we all stand to lose if we lose our tempers. You can help your students see that if they say, “That person makes me so mad,” they’ve just given that person power over them! Rather, they have the power within their own thoughts to calm themselves down.
_____________________________________________
You will confront students with the possible reality of prison if they turn to violence, or if they are with someone who commits a crime.
