Join me as I have an enlightening conversation with Barbara Gruener about empathy. We discuss the significance of teaching children empathy in schools and how we need to build empathy "like a muscle." Discover simple yet effective strategies for incorporating empathy and SEL activities into your classroom!
Barbara is a published author whose work has appeared in magazines such as Teaching Tolerance, Teaching K-8, and Daughters. She writes at The Corner on Character blog and guest posts over at the Character Educator every month. On May 30, 2014, her first book - What's Under Your Cape: SUPERHEROES of the Character Kind - was published by Ferne Press. In the Fall of 2000, Barbara became a certified trainer for Character Counts! and recently joined the Josephson Institute of Ethics National Faculty. She enjoys presenting her high-energy, motivational workshops to plant seeds, influence and inspire other educators nationwide. She will be the kickoff keynote speaker at the 21st annual National Forum on Character Education in Washington D.C. on Halloween this year.
