In what ways could we integrate the HOB "Listening with Empathy and Understanding" and the concepts from Project Adventure across the HES school environment. As you consider alternatives, what seems most promising? (As you can see, I'm working on my invitational questions!)

In many ways teachers at HES are already teaching this Habit of Mind by providng classroom environments that encourage empathy and understanding. I found an article in Education World that discusses strategies for teaching empathy skills, but I think the best way for kids to learn is through teacher modeling.
