Values form the foundation for how a child will lead his/her
life, and what kind of person they will grow up to be. This course helps you
ensure your students have a strong value base through their education.
Thank you for embarking on this
journey. For an effective learning experience, please switch off any
notifications, use a notebook to write down your learning and questions as you
take the course. This course initiates conversations about the need for giving students
opportunity to practice values and the impact that values have in a person’s
life. Through examples of innovative teacher practices we will explore how
students can be given opportunities to demonstrate values and how they help
them in achieving class goals. As a result of this course, teachers will
reflect on their current beliefs and practice, and incorporate a simple method
to teach values to students.
