Roots of empathy

Please watch the video links to see overview of our Roots of Empathy Program.

The Roots of Empathy program was something new that we started in 2019-2020. The purpose is to teach students about empathy and emotional literacy through the use of babies coming into the classroom. The babies take on the role of the teacher as the students observe and share their observations. Students also learn emotional terminology and start to discover how empathy plays a role in their lives.
