Education is a values-based experience. Consciously or not, we are
highly attuned to one another's values. We see, time and again,
that the 'best' schools are compelled and propelled by strong
values which inspire and guide the creation of a meaningful context
for learning and an aspirational ethos. However, values can often
be submerged, overlooked, or ignored. By infusing our teaching with
values, both explicit and implicit, learning can serve a greater
purpose, nourishing us as humans and deepening our experience.
Drawing on the views and inspired teaching practice of a range of
contributors, this book offers both the theoretical underpinning
and practical examples to bring values to life in the classroom. It
shows how each subject has a unique and valuable role, and how a
values-based culture generates a powerful climate for successful
learning in every subject discipline. It is a 'bedside book' that
will bring joy and practical support to the many professionals who
work from the heart and wish to touch the future. It offers
validation to those teachers who deeply care about the subject
disciplines they teach, ultimately making a difference to children,
their lives, and their world. In our current educational context,
this work is unashamedly people-orientated, futures-thinking, and
forward-facing.
Meet Rhidi. Rhidi has friends, but would worry about friendships
and being good at making friends. Sometimes he would get so worried
that he couldn't sleep or want to leave his house! Rhidi asks his
classmates what they think friendship means and discovers so many
different ideas! What does friendship really mean? How does one
make friends? How can you be a good friend, and what can you do
when things go wrong? The ideal conversation starter for children
aged 7+, this illustrated guide helps children to understand what
friendship is, as well the misunderstandings surrounding it.
Schools must actively promote the fundamental British values of
democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and
tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. The Teachers'
Standards make it clear that teachers themselves must do nothing to
undermine these fundamental British Values. So how do schools and
teachers provide educational experiences for primary aged children
that explore and promote these values? This text provides trainees,
teachers and schools with practice-based advice, informed by
current practitioners, relating to the delivery of 'British
Values'. The content covers many topical themes and provides a
unique insight into delivering 'British Values' in schools. It
supports educational professionals to understand their duties
around the PREVENT agenda and goes further to explore why this is
important. It helps trainees and teachers to see how these 'values'
fit within the wider context of education and what we value as
educators.
