Abstract
In addition to providing academic knowledge, elementary school teachers are also responsible for shaping the character and emotional well-being of students. Therefore, the ability to communicate with empathy and manage emotions is essential to building a classroom atmosphere that feels safe, warm, and supportive. This community engagement program was implemented at SD Muhammadiyah Blunyah, Sleman, Yogyakarta and involved 25 elementary school teachers. The training used a combination of methods, including interactive discussions, small-group activities, analysis of classroom scenarios, role-play, and simple emotion-regulation practices such as breathing pauses and mindfulness grounding. Participating teachers reported clearer self-awareness, improved active listening skills, more consistent use of empathetic language, and practical strategies for addressing daily classroom stressors and behavioral challenges. The qualitative reflections collected after the session indicated a positive shift in teachers’ confidence and emotional composure during student interactions. Overall, this program contributes to the development of a more humane and emotionally supportive classroom climate that nurtures students’ social-emotional growth. Continued mentoring and follow-up supervision are recommended to ensure that teachers can maintain and deepen these positive changes over time.
