Training Teachers
Step #1: A seminar for teachers is viewed as a starting point. There are experienced trainers who give a seminar on the 4 strategies as mentioned in the Virtues Project Educator's Guide and the practice of the virtues for students of all ages.
Step #2: This is followed by meeting the parents of the children involved in these classes. Then there is an understanding and a closer connection among the children, the teachers and the parents. It is important for the parents to support the virtues at home.
Step #3: The trainers then have demonstrations in the classrooms to further train the teachers and introduce the subject to the classes of children who will be involved.
Sustainability: The trained teachers can in turn, train other teachers so that a steady flow of teachers continue to be trained to teach virtues in their own schools.
Training Parents
Being a parent is the most complex and important activity on the planet. Parents are a child’s first and most important educators, yet they receive little or no training in what to do or how to do it. And unfortunately, children don’t come with instruction manuals.
We need to pay attention to the moral development of a child day to day, bringing out the best in the child, which also brings out the best in the whole family. As a parent, the character of your child is your main priority. So, this training is a how-to manual for applying virtues or morals in yours and your children’s day-to-day lives.
Every child is potentially the light of the world and its darkness. Children have the potential for both goodness and destructiveness. Every virtue they possess can be directed or misdirected.
That’s why your role is so vital to their success.
