9. 9. Character Education/Values formation Teaching for change involves much more thanpresenting students with a list of rules to followand life principles to memorize.Dr. Lourdes Quisumbing - For a concept to beturned into action, it must first find its way into ourvalue system. Antonio Ulgado - Values are ideas that areemotionally fired. Jesus, Out of the abundance of the heart (not themind) the mouth speaks. (MATT. 12:34)
10. 10. Knowledge + understanding -> leads to belief whichaffects behavior It is entirely possible for a student to have a clear knowledge of right vs. wrong while at the same time living a life totally opposite to what they know True or FalseBelief = Values Its not what we know that we do. Its what we believe that we do (value/dearly hold to).
11. 11. In teaching values we must move beyond telling.Students been told all their lives what is right and whatis wrong. Instead we must see ourselves as facilitators forlearning (learning guides) who intentionally seek toenable our students to:1. Experience the satisfaction of personal discovery2. Establish a framework for making wise choices3. Become confident and decisive in confronting life issues4. Lead responsible and productive lives
12. 12. It has been said that values are better caught thantaught, but actually they are both taught and caught. a) Caught 1.Teenagers not easily fooled 2.Quick to pick up on how well our talk lines up with our walk a) Taught I.Facilitating discovery vs. teaching facts II. Each session involves a variety of learning styles, such as role-play, group research and styles discovery sessions, art projects, games and self- test to help accomplish this purpose.
13. 13. With this in mind, the lessons you present using BoH should: Encourage students to interact with the ideas presented. Not only be informative, but fun and lifeinformative transforming Actively engage students in exploring and making their own choices based upon the hope and direction that Jesus came to provide
