Empathy is our ability to recognize, feel, and respond to the needs and perspectives of others.
While it is one of the most important competencies for young people to have, empathy can also
be one of the most difficult skills to teach.

Lehrman History Teacher of the Year for the state of Arkansas shares how civic engagement can

to the betterment of society.
