From the Ted Talk by Chezare A. Warren: The difference between false empathy and true support
Unscramble the Blue Letters
I've learned in my research with teachers who demonstrate evidence of eptmahy with Black boys that they don't wake up every day aiming to be etepthiamc. They try things, they fail, and they make mistakes. They eseirxce humility and they try something else. Some rsrheceraes might refer to that as perspective taking, which is the ability to spontaneously adopt the psychological point of view of others. So we know that perspective taking substantially improves student-teacher relationships. That Black boys, who are otherwise cast aside, feel seen and heard in classrooms where there is evidence of peecspvirte taking, in part because their teachers take a lot of care to develop innovative and proactive soiultons to their problems. We know that perspective taking can reduce isctnenas of exclusionary dpislcniie, which is an isuse that is particularly salient for Black kids. And we know that empathy training can reduce implicit bias.

I've learned in my research with teachers who demonstrate evidence of empathy with Black boys that they don't wake up every day aiming to be empathetic. They try things, they fail, and they make mistakes. They exercise humility and they try something else. Some researchers might refer to that as perspective taking, which is the ability to spontaneously adopt the psychological point of view of others. So we know that perspective taking substantially improves student-teacher relationships. That Black boys, who are otherwise cast aside, feel seen and heard in classrooms where there is evidence of perspective taking, in part because their teachers take a lot of care to develop innovative and proactive solutions to their problems. We know that perspective taking can reduce instances of exclusionary discipline, which is an issue that is particularly salient for Black kids. And we know that empathy training can reduce implicit bias.
