This course explores the ways compassion practices and a focus on the dignity of educators and students can contribute to the wellness of schools, supporting educator retention, student learning, and community wellness. Educators are introduced to compassion foundations and connections between compassion and leadership. Educators will reflect on their experiences, and identify barriers to compassion, including implicit biases and pity grounded in deficit views based on social identities.
