VALUES CLARIFICATIONTo make students aware of their own personally held values and of the way in which their values compare to those of friends, adults, different groups in society, and even other societies in other times. It is hoped that, as this awareness increases, students will reconsider and perhaps modify poorly founded values while, at the same time, hold more confidently values which stand the test of review and comparison.

PROCEDURES THAT ESTABLISH A CLIMATE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY

Nonjudgemental attitudes. Teachers must refrain from unnecessary comments such as “That’s good,” or “That’s bad,” while responding to a child’s idea.

Manifestations of concern. Teachers should show interest in the students’ ideas by listening carefully and remembering what they say. The student will feel flattered by this recognition.

Opportunities for sharing ideas. Teachers should encourage children to share their ideas and feelings in many different situations during the school day.

ARE YOU PROUD OF THAT?

DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD?

HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN THAT HAPPENED?

DID YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER WAY TO DO IT?

DO YOU HAVE A REASON FOR DOING (FOR SAYING) THAT?

WOULD YOU DO THE SAME THING AGAIN?

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT’S RIGHT (OR GOOD)?”

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOUR IDEAS WORKED OUT?

DID YOU DO IT YOURSELF?
