“I wanted to send a quick email with regards to my daughter’s Pre-Kindergarten teacher. We are happy that our daughter has developed both on an academic and emotional level this year. She just loves going to school each day to see her friends but in particular, to see her teacher. When asked who loves her, her teacher always makes the list! I just wanted to let you know that we are very appreciative of all of the care, effort, and kindness that the teacher has shown our daughter.”
Core Value Awareness
Core values include qualities that reflect one’s character development, personal responsibility, and integrity. Core values are an integral part of our Emotional Intelligence program which is taught at all grade levels – Thinking and Learning with Awareness.
Students at Glenburnie School learn how to make good decisions, and to understand how their decisions affect others.
The underlying determinant of effective decision making is greater awareness and understanding of one’s core values.
What were Craig Kielburger’s core values which motivated his decision to found ‘Free the Children’, an international organization dedicated to defending children’s rights? How have his core values evolved or changed as his role in this organization has expanded?
These types of questions are asked at Glenburnie School, where discussions on core values are integrated into curriculum studies from Kindergarten to Grade 8.
At Glenburnie, teachers ‘go deeper’ to guide their students to develop a stronger understanding and foundation for making effective decisions.
Core values have a significant influence on how we think and behave. If our core values do not align with our work, we will not enjoy our job. Similarly, if one of a student’s core values is to learn, then learning becomes easier.
The fundamental key is to recognize and understand your own ‘Core Values’ and how they come into play in your reasoning, reality, and relationships.
