Description
Turn empathy into action and action into lasting student impact
Many schools champion global citizenship in their mission statements yet leave educators without a clear path to bring that vision into daily teaching. Empathy to Impact closes that gap. Written by Aaron Moniz, co-founder and director of Inspire Citizens, this practical guide introduces the five-stage Empathy to Impact framework—Care, Aware, Able, Impact, Reflect—to help educators embed global citizenship, service learning, and community engagement into existing curricula across any grade level or subject area. Whether you teach language arts or science or lead co-curricular programs, this resource equips you to encourage the development of learners who think critically, act empathetically, and contribute meaningfully to the world.
Empathy to Impact provides:
- A framework that integrates global citizenship into existing curricula without sacrificing academic rigor
- Practical tools, including community asset audits and the Inspire Citizens Action Menu, to guide authentic student inquiry and action
- Strategies applicable across pedagogical approaches, including International Baccalaureate, Common Core, project-based learning, and more
This is the essential guide for educators ready to prove that meaningful impact and rigorous learning are not competing priorities and for the students who deserve both.
