December's PBIS focus is Compassion.
Empathy + Action = Compassion.
In SEL we will explore empathy, which means putting yourself in someone else's shoes and trying to feel what that person feels. From there we will explore how empathy moves us into action to alleviate a problem or suffering. Compassion is when you SEE someone in need, CARE about their feelings, and DO something to show you care.
