What if you could help your students see any situation through other people’s eyes?
Perspective-taking is a super important skill. Not just because it will improve your students’ literacy capabilities but also because it will reduce conflict in your classroom and increase empathy.
People who can take other perspectives welcome and embrace different opinions and points of view.
Imagine what our society would look like if everyone would accept other perspectives?
In a society that gets more and more polarised, developing children’s perspective-taking ability will benefit all of us.
After all, “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognise, accept and celebrate those differences” – Audre Lorde.
In Episode 7 of The Thinking Effect, we share what perspective-taking is, why it is so essential to develop this skill, and how you can do so easily in your classroom.
We share a fun activity you can facilitate with your students straightaway. We would love to hear about your experience with this activity, so write to us at –
