Finding Your Way: Three Approaches to Teaching Heartwood
This heartwarming 26-minute video invites you into the classrooms of three elementary teachers who demonstrate various ways to present the Heartwood attributes and integrate them into school life. The video shows how Heartwood enriches classroom discussions, assignments, and projects without burdening teachers. It encourages teachers to embrace and use ethical concepts in ways that match their personal teaching styles. You must have a copy of this video in your school! Some of its many uses include:
- Just Show It: Orientation to the Heartwood kit for teachers, parents, or community groups.
- Show and Discuss: Brief trainings, PTO meetings, or teacher discussion groups: After viewing, discuss the three different styles of teaching shown in the video. What do they have in common, what are the essentials of Heartwood? How does each teacher adapt the kit? What is included in an “Ethical School”?
- Interactive Training and Research: Training workshops, web-based training, independent staff development groups: Discuss the essentials of Heartwood before viewing, create a checklist, pause after each classroom segment to compare notes. Follow up with a group exercise in developing your own approach to teaching Courage, Loyalty, Justice, Respect, Hope, Honesty, or Love.
