We speak with Jamie Woodhouse, UK educator and thought leader on sentientism.

We discuss strategies for introducing sentientism in the classroom, the questions students ask, and ways teachers can incorporate sentientism in the curriculum. The post What’s real and who/what matters: Sentientism in schools first appeared on Ethical Schools.
