Role of an Educator in Supporting SEE Learning Implementation

<p>This chapter previews how systems thinking, compassion, and critical thinking are built into each chapter. At its core, SEE Learning is about students understanding how best to take care of themselves and each other, specifically with regard to what can be termed their social and emotional health and well-being. Therefore, all of SEE Learning can be seen as rooted in compassion: compassion for oneself (self-compassion) and compassion for others.</p><p>One cannot, of course, simply tell students to be compassionate to others and to themselves; what is necessary is exploring the value of this mindset, showing a range of methods, and providing a set of tools. As students come to understand the value of these tools and methods, they will begin to employ them for themselves. At that point, they become their own and one another's teachers.</p>
