Empathy to Impact
Participants will explore the Inspire Citizens’ Empathy to Impact approach and engage with resources to enhance curriculum for global citizenship, service, and sustainability.
About this Session
The Inspire Citizens Empathy to Impact approach follows the Care- Aware- Able- Impact framework. This is a service learning cycle, an enhanced inquiry cycle, a project-based learning cycle, and a method of enhancing any curriculum approach. Participants will develop student empathy by engaging with the Sustainable Development Goals, Social Justice Standards, Well-being indicators, and more.
Participants will look for opportunities to enhance action through Inspire Citizens’ Action menu and community assets mapping. Participants will explore tools for authentic investigation to allow students to become more deeply aware of the issues that they care about, and all will be integrated into curricular outcomes to enhance existing curriculum for global citizenship, service, and action for sustainability.
