This toolkit is ideal for staff meetings. It prompts discussion about the school's values and their implementation in the classroom. It consists of discussion questions, a classroom challenge, and reflective prompts, which differ based on the topic. Teachers can use these materials to discuss and reflect on values, thereby helping them to understand values and how they impact children in the classroom. There are four weeks' worth of topics, so they could be implemented in meetings for four weeks or continue on longer if teachers start to think of their own discussion topics!

This tool works well in conjunction with the reflective journal below.

This guide is great for teachers to help them understand ways to change their language that avoid promoting values they don’t mean to promote. For example, saying “Quiet!” may accidentally promote conformity, so where possible, using different phrasing can help to uphold the school’s values.

It is another great reflective activity, and a good way to introduce the values circle to anyone unfamiliar with it.
