This supportive, empathy-building guide brings compassion to the forefront of classrooms. Thoughtfully addressing students' varying needs and perspectives in a meaningful way is challenging. By intentionally incorporating best practices, educators learn to facilitate honest dialogue, cultivate inclusion, build trust, and form a sense of emotional safety for students. Using field-tested, research-backed activities, the author provides strategies, personal stories, and lessons learned to help educators create a compassionate, empathetic school culture. This book will help K-12 administrators, teacher leaders, and counselors: transition the professional learning lessons into lessons or activities educators can use with students; address the importance of building connections with students to foster a sense of trust and safety; examine the various roles educators play and ways they are called on to step up to build student rapport; gain explicit directions and materials lists for facilitating activities that focus on bringing compassion to the forefront; and learn the challenges that high-mobility students face and the ways educators can be mindful of and address those unique challenges.
