Empathy in Schools – A Basis for Constructive Change #EmpathyDay

(c) Dr Debarshi Roy FRSA

I am indebted to Dr Debarshi Roy FRSA, author of Skinned Knees and ABCs, for this insightful model of how empathy can be embodied in the school curriculum as a way to develop the potential of every child.

This contrasts beautifully with the reductionist, ‘data led’ approach which dehumanises the learning experience for young people.

About educationalist04

I'm convinced we can, as a species, do much better than this if we set our minds to being much more positive and productive towards our fellow humans. The solution is learning - creating independent and autonomous learners who can problem solve, innovate and create a better more equitable and sustainable world. My books, Future Proof Your School and Re-Examining Success together with this blog, explore how better learning outcomes for all can be achieved.
