The Need: What problem are you trying to solve?
Low economical background students in public school still have some difficulty to go to school though the government has given free school fee. They can't go school even they can not continue their study for some reasons. There are lots of issues found in their family life. The issues make them can not go to school. Though school fee is free, but students sometime needs some money to buy workbooks,some subject practices and extra activity.Some students can't afford to pay for them.There are some students who can't go to school because they don't have money for transportation.Based on their reality, I lead some students to help their friends who has issues. I introduce social empathy through my Subject. I choose social theme and encourage students to care and do in action in CLEVER MIN
The Solution: What is your solution? Be specific!
CLEVER MIND is a way the concept CLEVER MIND is a concept to encourage students to care, concern and solve on social issues around them. CLEVER MIND is not only a concept to learn but also is the way to apply student's care. I insert CLEVER MIND in every theme that I will teach on my subject. I teach ENGLISH. So far, English teachers in Indonesia only teach daily language usage. But, I try to integrate my lesson plan with social issues. Hope, Students can improve their empathy to social issues after they learn it from English Reading Text, Discussion, Social Game and English Appreciation through Audio - Video. Not only understand about social issues but care and do something that can solve social issues around them. With CLEVER MIND,
C : Community
L : Leading
E : Encouraging
V : Viewing
E : Empowering
R : Reporting
M : Managing
I : Ideas
N : Needs
D : Do IT
The concept is integrated on English Lesson plan .It presents on Class Discussion and Class Action.
The Model: Walk us through a specific example of how your solution makes a difference; include your primary activities
CLEVER MIND is a guideline for students how to apply their empathy on social issues. Students need practicing to understand how to care how to concern and how to solve social issues. CLEVER MIND is :
C : Community, students make community focus on social issues
L : Leading. However, teacher need to lead them to the action of student's
empathy
E : Encouraging, Encourage their empathy to the real action to solve the
issues
V : Viewing, Viewing directly on social issues around them, give opinion,
feel the issues and imagine if they on those issues
E : Empowering,Empowering the students to discuss, find out the way and
solve the social issues directly.
R : Reporting, Students must make some report on what they do for the issues
that they are trying to solve, The report will be as assessment for
English Subject and also as a reflection for the next step they are
going to do.
M : Managing, Managing the ideas and steps in action
I : Ideas, sharing the ideas and trying make them real
N : Needs. List some need that require for the action
D : DO it, Do the action to solve the social issues,DO MORE LESS TALK
However students who is still teens, need guide to make real their empathy. CLEVER MIND is their guideline for their action. They will get real experience on solving social problem. Experience is the best lesson for their life. Involving them directly in action will build their personality, It's different from only observation social issues or knowing them through reading only.
The Marketplace: Who are your peers and competitors? Identify others also working to address the needs you are and what differentiates you from them. What challenges could these players pose to your success or growth?
CLEVER MIND is guideline for students to do in Empathy Action. They join in community at school and make a project to solve the problem. A community consists of students who care and interest on social issues. A project is the way to solve social issues that students arrange by themselves. They make a project, they do the project and they share a result of the project,in other words, "From Students - For Students - By Students". Social issues which I integrate in my lesson plan(curriculum) becomes a method to activate students empathy.Social issues actually has been introduced on Social Subject at school.But, Students only know and understand it as a material of the social subject. Involving students in real action is the best lesson to activate their empathy. It will give experiences.

What has been the impact of your solution to date?
The CLEVER MIND has been doing since September 2011. Some students who care on social issues have found the happiness of caring and helping. Some students who are from low economic background have been helped such as financial matter and psychology support. They also are encouraged to join together in the community.
