Tolerance and Empathy in Today's Classroom is an activity-based
teacher's guide to fostering positive group interaction through
imagined experience and discussion at Key Stages 2 and 3 (age 7 to
14).
In a series of interactive workshops, each one providing a
context, a scenario and a list of characters, pupils are invited to
engage in discussion, debate and negotiation to solve problems and
meet challenges.
The primary focus is the promotion of tolerance, empathy and
cooperation, as prescribed in the non-statutory framework for PSHE
and Citizenship. Key transferable skills in oracy, enquiry and
problem-solving are introduced and practised through each
role-play, with - specific links to the National Curriculum
attainment targets for Speaking and Listening- suggestions for
extensive cross-curricular work.
The scenarios include local, national and international issues
that will engage and interest young people. There are comprehensive
facilitator notes and all the resources needed for groups of 30
young people.Knowledge of citizenship is acquired most effectively
through active participation. A culture of listening, valuing and
responding to others needs to be established. This book helps
promote active pupilship as a model for citizenship.
