Regina~ I think your blog is a fantastic idea. I checked out the website about Humane Education and agree wholeheartedly that we need to incorporate this kind of education into our classrooms. Especially today, it's essential that kids learn to be humane towards each other and also to animals. Like the website says, if kids can learn to be humane to innocent creatures that are unable to protect themselves, they will learn to be good, compassionate and kind citizens of this world. I also think it's so great, especially as a future teacher, that you can sign up to be sent free information about how to use this education in your classroom, and that the website offers free videos you can download and use in your classroom; another way to use technology in a useful and educational way. I was just wondering, how did you find this great website and also if you get sent their information, do you find it really helpful? Thanks!

Meg thank you for your kind words. I have used lots of teachkind's information in my training to become an educator and with students. I really like the straightforwardness of the material and the age appropriateness. All children love animals and need to be aware of the way animals are viewed and treated in our current society. Another aspect of humane education involves interconnectedness with animal people and the environment. I personally like the Share the World program from teachkind.org. I suggest you check it out.
