  • Say: Today we are going to be using the principles of deep listening and curiosity to continue to strengthen our classroom community. The combination of deep listening and empathy go hand in hand. Why do you think that might be?  Allow students to share their thinking.
  • Say: What does it feel like to be listened to? What does it feel like when you have not been listened to? Allow for students to share out.
