"Beads and Breakdancing: Understanding Empathy Through the Arts"

In a multimedia presentation, Dr. Tami Rae Weiss shares various arts strategies from dancing to doodling through which teachers can cultivate empathy with even the youngest of learners.

The Strength of the Human Spirit

Join Dr. Tami Rae Weiss and Eva Schloss on Saturday as they talk about art as a way children communicate their emotions and understanding of the world. Through her close relationship with Eva Schloss, Holocaust survivor and step-sister to Anne Frank, Weiss will share Eva’s story as a testament to the strength of the human spirit, something we can promote in children in early childhood. From Eva's book, The Promise, the words of her father: "Everything you do leaves something behind; nothing gets lost. All the good you have accomplished will continue in the lives of the people you have touched." Be inspired!
