Empathy exercises: How can we make classrooms more inclusive?
Classrooms thrive on small, everyday acts of inclusivity. Teachers can foster empathy by allowing students time to share their thought processes, even for incorrect answers, highlighting diverse learning styles. Simple role-reversals and a calm, consistent teacher tone, rather than forced activities, build a culture where every child feels seen and valued, naturally promoting inclusion.
