  10. Critical Friend “It’s not enough in today’s challenging world to just love our kids. We must give them the tools to be prepared to cope with life’s challenges in a caring and humane way. It’s our job to give them the direction they need to avoid negative influences, and become successful, caring human beings. We all need to work together… educators, moms, dads, caretakers, communities… we all have a stake in helping our kids create a better world…as a mom of three, I’ve been there.” - Dr. Michele Borba

  11. Critical Friend There are No Guarantees! We can teach all of her fine ideas, but there are no guarantees that they will work.

  12. School vs Parental Roles • Where does the parental responsibilities end and why is it now the role of the school to teach morals? • What boundaries are there when teaching moral education? • Are we crossing a line when we teach these ideas?

  13. Cultural Differences • Our western beliefs are not necessarily the beliefs of others from all over the world. • Students from war-torn countries have experiences unimaginable atrocities. How can we attempt to teach morality to these students in just 5 hours a day?

  14. Isolation vs Context • Concepts often taught in isolation without context. • When children are taught concepts without any meaning to attach them to, they will not be able to attach it to known context.

  15. Developmental Readiness • Borba states that Moral Education can be taught at any stage of a child’s life. • There is a fine line between guilt and empathy. • Sensitive children are, at times, burdened by trying to do the right thing.

  16. Teenage Rebellion • The interaction between peers and their influence on an individual. • Will lessons learned earlier by parents and/or teachers stand up?

  17. Discussion Questions • How many of your schools/divisions require moral education of some sort to be incorporated into the curriculum? • How does your school/division prepare you to teach this area? • How do schools reach commonality in how to model and the words to use?

  18. More Discussion Questions • How do schools change the program so that it is not repetitive each year (so that students do not tune out)? • How does your school address morality with students as they get older when the influence of peers becomes more important?

  19. Final Question • How well does moral education work with students with behavioural challenges?
