Middle School Teacher Keeps Empty Chair In Classroom To Teach Students Empathy

Dan Gill has taught New Jersey middle schoolers history for the past 52 years, but one of his biggest lessons doesn't come from a textbook; rather from an empty chair sitting in his classroom. Mr. Gill dials-in and explains the personal story behind the chair, when his Black friend was rejected from a birthday party when they were kids. Mr. Gill explains that using personal stories helps his students connect to the history lessons he teaches them and teaches the important of empathy. Pilot Pen awards Mr. Gill $1,000 for being an amazing teacher! Be unstoppable with the go-to pens of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the smooth G2 and erasable FriXion by Pilot. https://powertothepen.com/
