USA: LVEP Educator Workshop

17-20 July 2008 – Haines Falls, NY

Educators' Training for educators, caregivers, community leaders who wish to think about and reflect on different values and the practical implications of expressing them in relation to themselves, others, the community, and the world at large.

During this three-day workshop, participants are asked to reflect on their own values, offer their ideas on elements within a values-based atmosphere, and imagine an optimal classroom environment. Small groups will discuss best teaching practices, and methods to create a values-based atmosphere in which all students can feel respected, valued, understood, loved and safe. LVE's theoretical model and the rationale behind the variety of values activities are presented.

The workshop then turns to skills for creating a values-based environment including: acknowledgement, encouragement, and positively building behaviors; active listening; conflict resolution; collaborative rule making; and values-based discipline. These sessions are intermingled with small group sessions in which participants take part in Living Values Activities for children and youth. This program is designed for teachers, counselors, administrators, parents, youth workers and others who want to create values-based learning environments.

Educators at LVEP sites report increased respect among students, both toward their peers and their teachers, greater self-confidence, improved cooperation and ability to resolve conflicts, and increased motivation to learn. Some teachers report higher academic functioning has kept pace with these changes.
