What would it look like to focus on empathy to begin our work in TWP? I used this question to guide my redesign of my TWP section. Come to this session to learn more about my process and as well as how I connected several aspects of my teaching such as Design Thinking, the Habits of Mind, and ungrading to a thread of empathy in this course. I will use the questions my students will explore during the course to guide our discussion.
- What is empathy?
- How can we learn about each other’s perspectives?
- How will our individual perspectives inform our work together?
- Where do you see empathy in the Habits of Mind?
- How can we use empathy to understand other people’s perspectives/experiences about climate change?
