Highland Terrace is eager to begin the Roots of Empathy program in our 2nd grade classrooms. In order to successfully implement this awesome program, please help us find:
- Four wonderful babies (and their parent) to participate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K46tc0vLKmM
- One more Instructor ~ we already have three committed volunteers.
Please contact teresa.osborn@shorelineschools.org if you’re interested in volunteering as an Instructor or as Parent with a 2-4 month old baby.
Roots of Empathy Instructors:
- Attend a mandatory Roots of Empathy training (3 days initial training & 1 day mid-year training) at no cost to the instructor (Shoreline Public Schools Instruction Department covers the cost)
- Successfully complete a written, open book, certification test
- Deliver 27 consecutive classroom lessons over a school year (October-June)
- Prepare lesson plans and teaching materials (45 minutes each time)
- Have enthusiasm and ability to work in an interactive way with children with an openness to understand and embrace the mission, goals, philosophy, and values of Roots of Empathy.
