Empathy & Mindfulness for Higher Education Practitioners
The course will introduce empathy and explore mindfulness and meditation as tools to develop empathy. Learners will explore the relevance and importance of empathy for educators, explore barriers and obstacles to self-compassion and empathy, and be introduced to mindfulness and meditation as a tool to foster and develop empathy. Over six weeks, learners will develop a personal mindfulness practice, read and reflect on empathy with a community of learners, and make connections between empathy and working in education through discussion boards and small-group conversations.
This course is offered online synchronous and online asynchronous (self-paced).
