The Compassion Project: Positive Relationships

This course teaches students the meaning of compassion, as well as how to show and recognise it, helping them to build healthy and lasting relationships and maintain a compassionate classroom.

In a compassionate classroom, disputes, distractions and disagreements are quickly resolved and there is more time for what truly matters: learning. The modules take a look at the idea of a growth mindset, how to deal with intense emotions and stress relieving techniques to use to maintain good mental health.

Course Structure

The Compassion Project: Positive Relationships is made up of three online learning modules with three optional offline lesson plans and activities which link to the online modules.

Module 1

Compassion and empathy

In lesson one, Understanding compassion, students explore the meaning of empathy and compassion, and how they can show and recognise it inside and outside of the classroom.
