The SEE Learning® Curriculum presents key concepts and skills in awareness, compassion, and engagement. These concepts and skills are best learned in the context of a compassionate classroom in which educators model awareness, respect, patience, and peaceful problem solving.
A compassionate classroom that includes these key characteristics helps students feel a sense of emotional safety and belonging. They are comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, taking reasonable risks, expressing their thoughts, and sharing their feelings. Students in a compassionate classroom or school feel accepted for who they are as an individual and know that it’s safe to express their unique identity. Because these outcomes are so meaningful for students’ well-being and academic success, creating a compassionate school environment is well worth educator’s time and effort.
