Lesson Plan: Kindness Counts

Engage students in grades K-5 with the critically important topic of kindness. What is kindness and what does it look like at school?
Can You Create Kindness in the Classroom?
Our popular course Kindness: Can It Be Taught? explores how to help students build the key components of kindness: empathy, perspective-taking, honesty, and trustworthiness. You’ll learn tools and techniques to help students interpret and show compassion for others’ behavior—even when it’s very different from their own.
