Lesson Plan

Walking In Their Shoes

Students will practice identifying others’ feelings and reflecting on how their actions impact those emotions through guided scenarios, goal-setting, and personal reflection to build empathy.

Empathy strengthens peer relationships and self-awareness by teaching students to consider perspectives beyond their own, reducing conflicts and fostering a supportive classroom.
