CURI 6576 SUNY Empire State University
Why is empathy important? Empathy allows us to experience the world on a much deeper level. This course focuses on understanding our students better. All learners deserve empathy because it is crucial for any learning or growth. When students enter our classrooms, they are continuing a lifelong journey to excel. Not only should we be teaching the curriculum, but we must also encourage students to pursue excellence. Participants will develop an understanding that empathy is demonstrated both explicitly; how we respond to a student and implicitly; how we plan our curriculum, instruction, assessment, and extracurricular learning opportunities. Participants will examine the DIIE model (Diagnosis and Discovery), (Intervention), (Implementation), and (Evaluation). Participants will answer the question, how do we implement what works best? Great teaching can be designed, and when it is designed well, students learn more. 3 graduate credits.
