Last year, Class Dojo produced a series of short animated videos that taught about what it means to have a Growth Mindset. Yesterday, they released the first video in their new “Empathy” series, with two more expected during October. Each video is around 4 minutes long and includes a discussion guide that also has suggestions for carrying on the conversation at home.
My elementary students enjoyed the mindset videos from Class Dojo last year, and even ask to watch them again. Since empathy is part of the Design Thinking process, and something we regularly discuss in our GT classes, I definitely plan to show this series as well.
If you want to delve more into teaching empathy, Joelle Trayers has a plethora of posts that include picture book suggestions and activities on the topic.
