Catalyzing a caring, relationship-driven school community
Why Choose Growing Empathy
Growing empathy accelerates the creation of relationship-driven classrooms and schools where teaching and learning thrive. It makes schools and districts more successful by expanding the use of empathic communications to generate positive school climates where a sense of community, connection and collective care are the norm.

CAPACITY BUILDING THROUGH KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER
Program Implemention
The Growing Empathy program is a follow-up program to either our Whole Educator Collective or Empathy School professional learning. The FuelEd team provides training and ongoing support to a select group of on-site educators who then lead the Growing Empathy learning experience over the course of a year within your district or school. Growing Empathy transfers knowledge and skills from FuelEd to district leaders and educators with the following capacity-build program components.
