Foreword

Values education has always been a part of learning, often taking place incidentally during everyday life in a school. It exists in the way teachers communicate with their students, how the students relate to each other and the expression of those values within the whole school community. Respect me – Respect you builds a strong but flexible program to support teachers and students to achieve a positive, clear and manageable inclusion of their core school values into their school’s code of conduct, welfare and social curriculum. Respect me – Respect you is consciously underpinned by the rights and responsibilities ethos. It embraces current pedagogy, theoretical psycho-social research and effective conflict resolution models. The lessons focus on applying cognitive and affective skills through discussion and reinforcement activities.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

It also fosters resilience in each participant by developing the ability to direct his or her own inner power by understanding the needs, desires, rights and responsibilities which guide his or her own behaviour and, ultimately, to acquire a desired personal values framework while respecting and valuing others.

Theories underpinning Respect me – Respect you Introduction

Values education is neither the imposing of a teacher’s values upon his or her students or the oppositional view of excluding the building of values with the philosophy: ‘I have a right to my values—you to yours; so let’s leave it there’. Nor is values education a prescriptive teaching of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, a list of rules and punishments or an imprecise nature of inaccurate measuring of a child’s values on a report card. Values education is an active process of facilitating students, through the use of experience-based activities, to develop virtues that are of benefit to themselves and their communities. It is of teaching students how to filter and respond to experiences, to recognise their emotions in such situations and to work through and/or solve events in their world by use of appropriate and cooperative behaviour.

Societal changes have had a significant impact on human relations. Many of the events in our world would seem to project and permit asocial behaviours and communication patterns. Assisting children to build healthy self-esteem, to communicate effectively and to develop both a respect of self and of others in the larger community will lead to successful interrelationships and healthy, peaceable living.

notes Teachers

Theories underpinning Respect me – Respect you Self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-esteem Self-awareness is the ability to know ourselves—how we think, feel and act in the world. Self-awareness is the first step to recognising and changing behaviours that are working for or against ourselves or others. It can help enhance skills, attitudes and actions that serve us well. It is also the beginning of taking responsibility of one’s self and having self-control.

ew i ev Pr

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Self-acceptance regards having a good relationship with ourselves. It comes from having our thoughts, feelings and desires validated during childhood and is a basic building block in the development of good relationships with others. Self-acceptance means respecting and valuing ourselves, thereby enabling an individual to respect and value others. Self-acceptance is an essential building block toward self-esteem.

Teac he r

Our self-esteem comes from both inside and outside ourselves—how we feel about ourselves and how we feel about the perception of others about ourselves. If we feel good about ourselves, and people around us let us know they feel good about us too, we will have high self-esteem. If we feel bad about ourselves, people around us let us know they feel bad about us too. This can cause low self-esteem. Our self-esteem is not constant and does fluctuate. The more we recognise, respect and value ourselves, the greater our internal contributions to self-esteem. The more we are recognised, respected and valued by those around us, the greater the external contributions to our self-esteem. As stated above, self-esteem is determined by both internal and external factors. Because we have more control over inside rather than outside influences, our selfesteem needs to develop ‘inside-out’. This acts as a natural barrier to negative outside influences.

judgements based on consequence, to judgements based on motive. The program used within this book, based upon Kohlberg’s studies of motive and understanding through the stages of pre-conventional and post-conventional morality, is designed to develop upon a child’s concerns with society as a whole through the use of discussion. The program aims to assist an individual’s development towards Kohlberg’s ‘universal principles of justice’ (the highest stage of moral understanding), which requires the person to treat all parties involved with respect and in an impartial manner. Therefore, Respect Me – Respect you is based upon respect for self, respect for others and mutual respect—all of which are themes developed by Kohlberg’s theories.

Erikson’s stages of social development According to developmental psychology, people go through stages as they grow and mature. Eric Erikson’s ‘Theory of psychosocial development’ describes the socialisation process of children, stage by stage, from infancy to adolescence to adulthood. Erikson believes the most important part of each stage is the acquisition of a particular developmental milestone. In doing so, individuals attain particular qualities which support them in their healthy development and help them reach their potential as human beings. The class discussions in this book’s program incorporate these stages, focusing on the four stages primary-school aged students go through: trust, autonomy, initiative and competence. The fifth psychosocial stage begins during adolescence, the transition years in middle school. Parallel thinking and multi-intelligence teaching methods encourage full-spectrum thinking at the student’s appropriate psychosocial developmental levels. R.I.C. Publications®

The ADKAR model Developed by the research and publishing company, Prosci, <http://www.changemanagement.com/> and the Change Management Learning Centre, the ADKAR model is a goal-oriented, independent change management model that encompasses five stages of change: 1. Awareness of the need to change. 2. Desire to participate in and support the change. 3. Knowledge of how to change and recognise what change looks like. 4. Ability to implement change on a day-to-day basis. 5. Reinforcement to maintain change. As a first step, children need to recognise that what they are doing may be wrong. This awareness often comes when a caregiver tells a child that something is incorrect. However, simply knowing that an action or response is wrong will not stop or change a child’s behaviour. Testing boundaries and experimenting to extend limits is natural. Implementation of consequences,

Boundaries People have physical boundaries, a sense of personal space which determines how comfortable they feel being within a certain distance to other people. The better we know a person, usually the more comfortable we are having him or her close to us. People have psychological and emotional boundaries too. Our psychological boundary, or ‘thinking space’, can also be crossed by other people. If someone asks questions that are too personal, or tries to get us to agree with them when we don’t, we will feel the same level of discomfort. Our emotional boundaries, or ‘feeling space’, can also be encroached upon by others. If another person tells us how he or she thinks we should feel, or says something to deliberately hurt our feelings, that person is crossing our boundary. Having a recognition of our own personal boundaries helps us in our relationships with others. Boundaries support us in our independence from, and interdependence with, others. Knowing what our attitudes, needs, rights and responsibilities are and how they may differ from others, provides us with a basis for understanding and compassion. Knowing ‘where I end’ and ‘where you begin’ promotes cooperation and team work, helps avoid confusion and misunderstandings and reduces tensions between people.

either positive or negative, is usually required. These influence and contribute to a child’s desire to change. To support this desire, there needs to be appropriate motivation to change. Children need role models to understand what appropriate behaviour looks like. They need examples to develop their knowledge of appropriate behaviour. Next, they need to practise implementing these learnt behaviours to achieve the fourth stage of the ADKAR model, ability. Change is not immediate for most people. Children, especially, need more time to grow their abilities to behave in new ways. Finally, children need reinforcement to encourage and support appropriate and acceptable behaviours. This may take the form of positive reinforcement, including encouragement or other types of rewards. (Adapted from the Change Management website)

Bloom’s taxonomy Through his studies, educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom identified three domains of learning activities that encourage parallel thinking. They involve cognitive mental skills (knowledge), affective skills (attitudes, emotions and feelings) and psychomotor skills (manual skills). Within its program, Respect me – Respect you incorporates the intellectual skills of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Alongside this, there is the use of the affective domain, where outward discussion and reflection involves feelings and values to develop the attitudes of appreciation, enthusiasm and motivation. This develops internalised values within children as they receive and respond to phenomena. As the students organise their priorities, they are able to create personal value systems using their full potential. vi

Theories underpinning Respect me – Respect you Edward de Bono’s parallel thinking method/Multiple intelligences

Each type of power has an effect on the nature of the relationships we have with others. ‘Inner power’ is power that is derived from inside ourselves. Inner power increases when we build confidence and decreases when we lack confidence. When we have inner power, we can choose to share it with another person, as sharing it doesn’t decrease our inner power.

Redirect: Provides an overview and redirection or change in thinking. A clear, verbal redirection to the group to wear a ‘new’ hat. The blue hat defines the purpose and function of a session.

This teaching method encourages cooperative learning (inner power) as all participants are provided with the opportunity to contribute ideas to their full potential. Cooperative learning and personal power are positive, enabling skills that help individuals communicate and function in a community. Parallel thinking allows people to find points of agreement and assists in the exchange of views and value systems without the need for any one person or view to be ‘right’. It takes one’s ego out of discussions and allows participants to explore experiences without opposition or coercion to convince others to change their mind. Inner power assists in enabling a person to think like this more effectively. R.I.C. Publications®

Power over increases when we are more dominant over someone and decreases when we are less dominant. Power over means we have to have control over another person in order to feel powerful.

There are two types of power that we can have as individuals: 1. Inner power

Types of power

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

During the 1980s, Edward de Bono developed his famous six hats thinking strategies’ teaching method. With this method, the varying intelligences of participants are used to their full potential. At its essence, the belief is that participants involved in a discussion can express opinions and experiences freely, no matter how contradictory their views, because parallel thinking diffuses argument. The premise is that participants view a situation from a different perspective. The six ‘hats’ enable all participants to view an experience or problem from the same viewpoint (wearing the same coloured hat). Any choosing, judging and prioritising that occurs, is done so after all views have been expressed. The hat gives the group a direction to think—not a way they must or should think.

www.ricpublications.com.au

Inner power is a good thing; confidence and capability adds to our self-esteem. Other people feel good about someone who has personal power too. Power over is destructive because it means that someone feels good about themself at the expense of another person. Other people are not likely to feel good about someone who is using power over them.

Respect me – Respect you is a ten-step values education program. It aims to foster resilience in each participant by developing an individual’s ability to direct his or her own personal power by understanding the needs, desires, rights and responsibilities which guide his or her own behaviour. Ultimately, the individual acquires a desired personal framework while learning to respect and value others in the process. The program follows the ADKAR change management model, which encompasses five stages of change. These five stages provide a basis for the 10 steps used in this book. Incorporated into the activities are Edward de Bono’s six parallel hats teaching method, Eric Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development, the application of Bloom’s taxonomy and Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. (Refer to pages iv – vii for detailed information regarding these theories.) Each of the 10 steps in the program is accompanied by teachers notes and a selection of blackline masters. The program is designed to last for the length of a term.

The learning sequence is listed. Each step generally consists of two learning sequences. Teachers should read through the learning sequences and gauge whether their students should complete both Learning sequence 1 and 2 or just 2. This will depend on students’ prior experience with the program and their ability and level of maturity. It is only necessary to complete Learning sequence 1 if students’ lack of prior experience warrants it. Each learning sequence may occupy up to several lessons or sessions to complete.

Learning sequence 1

ew i ev Pr

Background information: Values are intrinsic beliefs or ideas that guide our actions and the qualities of our behaviour. Integrity is the application of those values and standards that are held as important to the individual. Values are developed at an early age through experiences and direct interaction with people regarded as important and significant in the lives of the individual. Values develop that are hard to change. Societies usually share certain common values among its citizens. Individuals may either share cultural, religious and personal values with the society they live in, or their values may differ from the norm. Mutual respect of the values of others creates harmonious communities. Some individuals may have values that do not entirely conform with the values or laws (externally imposed beliefs) of the society in which they live.

• Experience: Students are invited to bring in board games, which they play for a limited time within small groups. Students then complete the worksheet ‘Playing games’ (page 4) as a basis for the class reflective discussion below.

w ww

. te

• Discussion: After students have completed worksheet, ask them questions about the effect of the rules on playing the board game and the behaviour of individuals on the enjoyment of the game. The answers the students give will be based on their values and beliefs. After the discussion, mention this to the students. Use the following questions as a guide.

Question guides:

What benefits did we find in keeping the rules? (less conflict) If the game was new to you, what was difficult about it? (the rules were unfamiliar) Were any players helpful or unhelpful? Why? (dominance, disharmony and negative emotions) Who made up the rules? (set externally) Why is it important to have fair rules? (fair to all, equal opportunity for all players, individual’s rights respected) Were there any conflicts or problems? What caused them? (other people were limiting or disagreeing with my ideas/rights/beliefs)

m . u

– Abide by and be aware of rules for social cohesion.

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Class reflective discussion: Discuss as a class how rules are often not set by ourselves but by people we do not know. Ideas and beliefs are different from rules, as they are set by individuals and can differ from person to person. When we act according to our beliefs, we are carrying out a value that we think is worthwhile. However, sometimes these values are only worthwhile to ourselves and can upset others by limiting their rights and values.

Learning sequence 2 (Assessment task indicated by ❋)

• Creating boundaries and rules: In small groups, students create a simple game for up to four players. The members of each group are to work cooperatively to plan and create a game for a lower primary class, making the rules and the components. You may want to laminate the boards first before sharing with the younger classes. Students will need access to coloured card, marker pens, pencils, scissors and glue. – To help plan their game, students can be given:

– lower primary class readers to provide a focus for the content topic of their game or use a simple game concept such as ‘Snakes and ladders’ – ‘Designing games’ task card on page 6

– sample grids on the planner pages (page 7), or design their own plan.

Analysis

– Analyse

• Class discussion: After students decide on the rules of their game they list them on an A3 sheet of paper. Alternatively, the teacher converts the rules into an overhead and all the rules are compared for similarities and differences, which are then discussed.

• Suggestions for grouping students: Group students into the desired number compatible for the activity. Students can work in pairs, but the greater the number of group members, the more complex the interactions and the more interesting the reflective discussion. The class may be arranged into a variety of group sizes to observe group cohesion in relation to number of members. Often, the greater the number of participants, the less cohesion, providing an interesting viewpoint to society and community conflicts.

www.ricpublications.com.au

• Class reflective discussion: Discuss with students what values and beliefs may have guided the students to make the rules they created for their games. They will find values that were common to most members of a group or to only a few. The differences and similarities within a group do not always refer to conflicts, but simply that there are natural differences in opinion among individuals in a group. People who live by their beliefs are said to be living by their values and show certain virtues by their actions. These virtues are what influence an individual’s ability to live harmoniously and independently within his or her group(s) and community.

• Independent reflection: – Students review their game’s rules and complete the worksheet ❋ ‘Designing rules for playing games’ (page 8). – Students match values to action statements by completing the ‘Values and actions’ worksheet (page 9). Respect me – Respect you

Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial skills: Trust is the first element for a child to understand when developing psychosocial skills. Too often children are told their feelings aren’t ‘right’. These learning sequences assist the child to recognise his or her feelings and begin to learn about them in order to express their feelings in appropriate ways. By helping children to understand their feelings, they are able to develop understanding and empathy towards each other, thereby leading each child towards a feeling of independence and an acceptability of their own and others’ feelings within a group.

All students are assigned a specific role in the group, which should be explained before commencement of activity. The students’ roles are guided by the teacher’s understanding of their skills and social combinations. Activities can be scaffolded to suit the ability of the group. All participants in the group share ideas and concepts equally. It is up to the group leader to organise and assist in allowing everyone an equal share of input in a respectful way. (The use of a ‘talking stick’ may be helpful.)

Illustrator

The talking stick The ‘talking stick’ can be a ruler with a ‘mouth’ stuck on the top or a stick with a particular design. When a group member has the stick (given to them by the group leader) they have a predetermined time to share their ideas without interruption from others in the group. Once the student has finished his or her turn, the stick is returned to the middle of the group and the group leader then gives it to the next student. The selected time for each person to hold the stick can be determined by the needs of each individual class. The time is to be prearranged and understood before commencing group work. This ensures that no one particular student dominates the group. The use of the research sheets on pages 15–19 allows for the development of summarising, identification of keywords and facts and notetaking skills. These skills reference the key learning area of English, assisting students to work independently and effectively. R.I.C. Publications®

Tennis

Step 2

Tennis can be played as a highly competitive game or as a social game—and can be played with either two people (singles) or four people (doubles). The object of the game is to use a racquet to return a tennis ball over a net within a defined space. Tennis can be played on a variety of surfaces including grass, clay and hard court.

For competitive games there are also officials who call if a ball falls in or out of the line boundaries. With modern technology, some competitions have computers for line calls. Competitive matches may also have ball boys or girls to retrieve balls. Apart from a tennis racquet, the playing court and tennis balls, regulation tennis shoes are required to play the game.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

Warnings can be given and/or points can be deducted for conduct unbecoming to the game. Back-chatting the umpire, showing disrespect to one’s opponent or disadvantaging your opponent by your behaviour in words or actions can result in point penalties or disqualification.

ew i ev Pr

Teac he r

The aim of each player is to hit the ball to a position within the defined area so that the opponent can not return the ball back and keep it in play. The game is played in sets, with usually the winner having won two of three sets. The first player to win six games in a set and be in front of his or her opponent by two games wins the set. Points are scored from 15 to 30 to 40 to ‘game’. If both players score to 40, this is called a ‘deuce’ and advantage points are then used.

Junior and senior tennis associations have a code of conduct and scoring and dress codes so everyone can enjoy the game.

Step 2

For handball that is played against a wall, the ball is served and returned using the hand or fist. Generally, gloves are worn to protect the hand against the small rubber or synthetic ball. Protective eye wear should also be worn. In competitive matches there are referees, line judges and scorers. Violation of the rules of the game may result in a foul being given to a player. This results in either a free throw or a penalty shot on goal. A maximum of three fouls per player are given, after that the player is disqualified. Foul calls are given for incorrect serves, returns, faults and behaviour including swearing, arguing, threatening, aggression to other players or the referee, or anything that is regarded as bad behaviour.

The objective of handball is to serve and return a ball by hand or fist to an opponent so they are unable to keep the ball in play. There are several forms of handball. It can be played on a drawn area on a hard surface at school (sometimes including a wall) for recreational play and can be played as singles (two people) or doubles (four people). It is also played as an international competitive sport, usually indoors with two teams of six players, on a full-length marked court with nets at either end to score into.

The object of the game is to gain points by throwing (shooting) a basketball through a hoop at the team’s end of the court. The team who scores the highest number of points is the winner. One, two or three points are awarded, depending on where the ball is shot from on the court. There are player positions of guard, forward and centre. The ball is dribbled, passed or shot with the use of a player’s hands. Special rules apply in regard to passing and running with the ball and shooting areas.

By helping children to understand their feelings, they are able to develop understanding and empathy towards each other, leading each child towards a feeling of independence and an acceptability of their own and others’ feelings within a group. Through simulated social-based drama activities, children are able to experience their physical and emotional boundaries and determine how comfortable they feel being a certain distance from each other. They will also be able to discuss their feelings and observe that different individuals will feel differently in the same situation. Learning sequence 1 (Assessment task indicated by ❋)

Focus: To develop students’ knowledge of professional sporting groups so the class can understand rules of conduct of a variety of sports and the codes incorporated into individual and team sports. Ask students: How are these values reflected in our society?

Analysis

• Organise a visit from a person involved in a professional sport or a local sporting team or community sports association to help students understand the rules and values of sportsmanship. • Prior to the visit, students formulate a set of questions to ask. These can be developed through guided discussion and the questions can be given Comprehension to the guest speaker prior to his or her visit. (Refer to page 19.) ❋ • Students complete a recount of the visit through the use of a joint – Students translate discussion exercise, including a personal comment about what they learnt their new knowledge about rules and fairness. and include a personal value comment. • Students complete the proforma, ‘Sportsperson’s visit’, on page 20. ❋ • Having compared and contrasted a variety of sports’ rules and codes of conduct, students now liken these concepts to their own classroom’s rules and recognise their part in supporting their effectiveness and the benefits of teamwork.

Developing questions for the guest speaker • It is important that students have taken an active part in developing the questions and are knowledgeable about the purpose of the meeting with their guest speaker. • Ensure students have researched the sport the guest speaker is representing. • Have the students look at the rules of the sport that is the focus of the visit. • The students are developing an understanding of the types of values that provide a basis for rules and how these rules encompass and influence the many facets of their lives. • Some suggested sample questions to lead the guest speaker are:

How would you define a ‘good sport’ or sportsmanship?

What rules do you find the most difficult to keep and why?

How do you feel when someone else on the other team breaks the rules or plays in an unfair manner?

What codes of conduct are the players asked to uphold on and off the field?

What do you expect from the referee and why?

What are the penalties for not keeping the rules?

How do you deal with a player that is breaking the rules or using aggression during a game?

Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial skills: Independence is the next step in the development of a child’s psychosocial skills. To support children in the development of their sense of independence, activities which promote people’s differences and similarities will encourage each child to distinguish, compare and examine these concepts. ‘A resilient individual is one who has the capacity to effectively cope, adjust and respond to the problems and issues that he or she faces in everyday life’. (Search Institute 1996)

ew i ev Pr

Our feelings act as a filter and can control our perception of a situation. Sometimes, if our feelings are too strong, we cannot control our reactions so we need to be aware of our feelings and enjoy and understand them so we can respond to them and the situation they apply to appropriately. (Robbins, 2001). When rules and responsibilities are created, we need to take personal boundaries into account. Edward de Bono’s parallel thinking hats

Application

– When examining rules, discuss consequences of breaching rules, focusing on the values that underlie each rule; e.g. Move safely around the room = respect the personal space of others, caring for people and property.

o c . che e r o t r s super

– As the rules may only focus on negatives, this discussion may involve adding and ‘balancing’ the classroom rules to become a list of positive actions; for example, instead of ‘no running in the classroom’, change the rule to ‘move safely around the room’ or ‘walk only’. – A clear definition of the steps for maintaining these rules should also be reviewed so everyone understands the consequences and warnings that act as guards against breaking the rules. Discuss the rule ‘reminders’ and the behaviour management program of your classroom and school. Also discuss your merit and award systems, focusing on the positive and supported values and behaviours of the students in the school.

• Discuss the difference between a ‘rule’ and a ‘law’. Write the definitions as a class or as an individual exercise.

We also have the responsibility to respect other people’s point of view, without necessarily agreeing with them; We have the right to be safe and we also have the responsibility to act safely and be safe towards other people in our play; We need to respect others’ personal and physical space. Some people like hugs, other people don’t. We need to listen when a person asks us to stop treating them in a way that makes him or her feel uncomfortable.

What else could the characters do?

How did they try to fix the problem(s)?

What was working? What wasn’t working?

What boundaries were the characters crossing?

What inner power could the characters use to solve the problems?

Focus: Ensure students understand that rules are based on values and respect. With rights we need to also accept responsibilities. We can build inner power if we have healthy boundaries. Boundaries can be cognitive (thoughts), emotional (feelings) and physical (actions). • Development of concepts:

(a) various fiction stories

(b) various experiences

– Shared reading: Read Nurse Matilda (Christianna Brand) as a class novel to students. – Discuss the right relationships and the relationships that are unfair that occur in the novel during and after reading sessions.

• Discussion: By understanding our rights and the rights of others, we enter into ‘inner power’ relationships.

– Water simile: Use a glass of water, a half-full bucket of water, a tray (with a slight edge such as a baking tray) and a tray of ice cubes.

Pour water on the ground. Make sure students note that water has no boundary and will spread everywhere. It runs away and gets lost. This is like a person without boundaries, rules or values.

Pour some water into the glass. The water has an invisible boundary. We know it is there but we cannot see it. Just like the ice, it holds together. We can still see its shape and it can be separated from other things.

It is helpful to have healthy boundaries. There are often signs around boundaries that help us understand where things stop and other things start. To explain boundaries to the students, use water as a simile.

Show the bucket with water in it. We can see the boundary clearly. We know the physical boundary is there and can see where it starts and stops. Sometimes boundaries are invisible but we know they are there (like feelings, thoughts). Sometimes we are not sure where the boundary is, but when we cross the boundary we suddenly realise it. (Like an automatic door, or when we do something that hurts another person.)

Other times, we can see the boundary. (Like a fence or a line to mark a handball court.)

By understanding our independence, while still maintaining a group, we are able to distinguish our feelings from others and separate ourselves from their feelings and their responses. It enables an individual to be interdependent within a group, rather than solely dependent on others’ moods and reactions as indicators of his or her own feelings.

Focus: The teacher should aim to help students realise that wanting selfrespect and harmony are values they share in common. List the classroom rules, and, beside each one, add the beliefs that underscore each one. Explain to students that behind each rule there are beliefs and core values that people believe provide harmony and self-respect. Rules empower people and move us to take action to make a place safe and comfortable for as many people as possible. Some rules won’t make people happy because their own values may be limited. Good rules allow inner power to flourish.

Where was Patty breaking the rules? Who was she upsetting? What responsibilities didn’t she accept? What responsibilities didn’t the adults accept? What else could they have done to solve any conflicts? Did the situation display power over or inner power when solving the conflict? What were the problems with the long list of rules in Mickey’s apartment?

Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial skills: Initiative is the third stage of psychosocial development. Through the use of role-play, children experiment with aggressive, assertive and passive behaviours by ‘pretending’ to be different characters. When part of a friendship, we can still be responsible for ourselves and accept that we are individuals who express personal freedom. When part of a friendship, we can be friends with people who have different ideas from us. They can express their own personal freedom and individuality. Creating good relationships with people and using personal power to resolve conflict helps to build and nurture our relationships. However, when we don’t accept responsibility there are consequences.

• Ice breaker: Your voice intonation (melody of pitch) can affect how people understand your message. Often it is not what we say but how we say it that creates an adverse reaction from the receiver. We need to use our voice, as well as choosing our words carefully to appropriately express feelings to one another.

The teacher says a sentence and all students repeat it. (Refer to the suggestions at the bottom of the page or use your own.)

The teacher then asks each student to repeat the sentence in a particular voice, as listed:

(a) Whisper the sentence.

Step 6 – Knowledge

Socrates approach to discussion The Socratic approach assists in character development-focused discussions as the facilitator feigns ignorance about the scenarios in order to obtain the students’ fullest possible knowledge on the topic. In this way, the contradictory and incomplete ideas can be aired and then analysed without judgement of the person who offered them. (Elkind and Sweet, 1997) • After discussing the core rights and responsibilities of the group and the roles of the members (refer to the table below), it is suggested that a demonstration discussion be carried out so students can see, hear and practise the approach. This will assist further discussion when students break into designated groups. • Similar to the classroom organisation hints on page 12, all group members have assigned roles. The teacher needs take into account the demographics, age, social compatibility, work ethic, achievement and gender balance of the students when assigning groups and roles.

(Adapted from Hyman 1980; Sadker and Sadker 1992)

Teacher tips: Assisting students in Socratic discussions • When introducing this type of discussion method with students, a more directed and modelled approach may be needed to assist in the development of effective techniques. Teachers may also need to allow extra thinking time before responses to allow students to explore the ideas and reflected upon them effectively. • Arrange circular seating to promote discussion and reduce distraction.

m . u

• Roam from group to group during the discussions to monitor and/or redirect debate.

w ww

• Use open-ended rather than leading ‘yes/no’ questions, as open-ended questions promote thinking and encourage discussion.

• Use age-appropriate questions, that are specific, as questions that are vague, ambiguous or beyond the level of the students can create anxiety.

. te

o c . che e r o t r s super

• Reward students for participation rather than the specifics of their responses. • Use counter cards (Sadker and Sadker, 1992.) (See below.)

• Encourage personal support between students (Lowman 1990) and a focus on the analysis of the scenario, not on the suggestions of the group. Counter cards Counter or comment cards assist in providing an opportunity for all students to speak in the discussion. It limits those that may tend to dominate the discussion and encourages quiet students to participate. The idea is to give out a predetermined number of counters or talk cards to each students; e.g. three. Each time a student speaks, they must hand in a counter or talk card to the ‘Counter/card collector’. Students may only speak (in discussion) in relation to the amount of cards given to them and they must use all of the cards before the session concludes. (Sadker and Sadker 1992)

Daxter has many caring people in his life and considers himself to be a fair and good friend. He is honest and kind, but often the other boys call him a ‘goody two shoes’. His parents support his talents and his individuality, but often school is hard when party invitations are given out to class members or team trials for sports are the flavour of conversation in the classroom.

During free work time in class one Friday, Conner wanted to show him a secret— something he had shown no-one else and that he had to promise to keep private. He showed him the design of a ‘tag’ and asked for Daxter’s opinion of the design. It really was quite good. The lines and colours were great! If you looked carefully you could see Conner’s initials in the design but you had to know where to look to find them. Daxter felt really special.

ADKAR change management model: Knowledge is the third stage of change. Knowledge gives people the inner power to have the confidence and capability to cope with a variety of situations. It also allows them to develop skills which enable them to practise and implement the changes as they move into the fourth stage, Ability. This learning sequence continues with the Knowledge stage and develops through to the Ability stage.

Erikson’s Theory of psychosocial skills: Initiative is the third stage of psychosocial development. When part of friendships, we can still be responsible for ourselves and accept that we are individuals who express personal freedom. When part of a friendship, we can be friends with people who have different ideas from us. They can express their own personal freedom and individuality.

Teac he r

Creating good relationships with people and using personal power to resolve conflict helps to build and nurture own relationships. However, when we don’t accept responsibilities there are consequences. Background information: There are two types of feelings: primary and secondary. Primary (first) feelings happen first, but we are often not aware of them. We are usually more aware of our secondary (second) ones. The most common secondary feelings are anger and frustration. Our secondary feelings can often cover our primary feelings, which are usually some kind of hurt or fear.

Sometimes anger is a primary feeling. When it is, it is a normal and useful response to a situation where someone is being unfair to us. If someone steals a possession such as a toy or doesn’t let us have a turn at a game, it is normal for us to feel angry. When we aren’t aware of our primary feelings, or we can’t express them, they can build up over time and add to our feelings of anger and frustration.

When talking about the two types of feelings, ensure the students understand the terms ‘primary’ (first) and ‘secondary’ (second).

Anger creates a lot of energy. We can harness this energy and use it to speak up for ourselves or someone else who we feel has been wronged. We can use it to encourage us to do something to make a situation better or stop it from happening again. However, if we don’t learn to control this energy, it can get out of control.

When we feel angry, energy builds up inside our bodies and makes us feel like fighting against or running away from a bad situation. But fighting or running away can often make a bad situation even worse. What we need to do is keep ourselves calm and give the energy some time to settle down so we can think clearly before we act.

Anger is not the only feeling that creates energy. Most of our feelings do. Because our feelings create energy, we like to express or release this energy. Expression’ is a word that means describing how we really feel to others. Some feelings create a gentle energy and can be expressed gently, while other feelings create a stronger energy and need to be expressed in a more energetic way.

When power is shared, it is cooperative and individuals can express their values freely without being offended or offending others in the community. In cooperative environments, individuals carry personal responsibilities to respect the rights of themselves and others. It is a win-win situation, with all people using their inner power. In societies that use cooperative power, conflicts are solved peacefully and respectfully without power over or inappropriate anger responses.

Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on 27 August 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of 12, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of 18, she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months’ training in Dublin, she was sent to India, where, on 24 May 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948, Mother Teresa taught at St Mary’s High School in Calcutta. But the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that, in 1948, she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on divine providence and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.

Reinforcement

The Missionaries of Charity located throughout the world are aided and assisted by a group of coworkers, who became an official international association on 29 March 1969. By the 1990s, there were over one million coworkers in more than 40 countries. Along with the coworkers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa’s spirit and charism (the gift of healing) in their families.

. te

Mother Teresa’s work was recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1978) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

On 7 October 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, The Missionaries of Charity, whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after.

Step 10

Bishop Desmond Tutu was born in 1931 in Klerksdorp, Transvaal, South Africa. His father was a teacher and he himself was educated at Johannesburg Bantu High School. After leaving school, he trained first as a teacher at Pretoria Bantu Normal College and, in 1954, graduated from the University of South Africa.

After three years as a high school teacher, he began to study theology, being ordained as a priest in 1960. The years 1962–66 were devoted to further theological study in England, leading towards a Master of Theology. From 1967 to 1972, he taught theology in South Africa before returning to England for three years as the assistant director of a theological institute in London. In 1975, he was appointed Dean of St. Mary’s Cathedral in Johannesburg, the first black person to hold that position. From 1976 to 1978 he was Bishop of Lesotho, and, in 1978, became the first black person to hold the position of General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches. Tutu is an honorary doctor of a number of leading universities in the USA, Britain and Germany.

Desmond Tutu was a leader in the fight to bring equality to people in South Africa, whose government, until 1993, believed in discrimination between black people and white people. At the time of the discrimination, Desmond Tutu formulated his objective as ‘a democratic and just society without racial divisions’ and set forward the following points as minimum demands:

1. equal civil rights for all

2. the abolition of South Africa’s passport laws 3. a common system of education

4. the cessation (stopping) of forced deportation from South Africa to the so-called ‘homelands’ Since 1993, Tutu has continued to speak out for people who are discriminated against, for the poor and to solve the problem of HIV/AIDS. He has continued his work both in South Africa and globally.

After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela’s campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of the Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On 12 June 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.

Nelson Mandela was released on 11 February 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life’s work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organisation had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organisation’s National Chairperson. The year after the policies of apartheid were dismantled in 1993, Mandela was elected President of South Africa. This was a position he held until 1999.

He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party’s apartheid policies after 1948.

As a result, they promoted all former female judges, including myself, to the position of ‘experts’ in the Justice Department. I could not tolerate the situation any longer and so put in a request for early retirement. My request was accepted. Since the bar association had remained closed for some time since the revolution and was being managed by the judiciary, my application for practising law was turned down. I was, in effect, housebound for many years. Finally, in 1992, I succeeded in obtaining a lawyer’s licence and set up my own practice.

I came to Tehran (the capital of Iran) with my family when I was a one year old and have since been a resident in the capital. I began my education at Firuzkuhi primary school and went on to Anoshiravn Dadgar and Reza Shah Kabir secondary schools for my higher education. I sat the Tehran University entrance exams and gained a place at the Faculty of Law in 1965. I received my law degree in three-and-a-half years, and immediately sat the entrance exams for the Department of Justice. After a six-month apprenticeship in adjudication, I began to serve officially as a judge in March 1969. While serving as a judge, I continued my education and obtained a doctorate with honours in private law from Tehran University in 1971.

Wangari Muta Maathai was born in Nyeri, Kenya in 1940. The first woman in East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate degree, Wangari Maathai obtained a degree in Biological Sciences from Mount St Scholastica College in Atchison, Kansas (1964). She subsequently earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh (1966). She pursued doctoral studies in Germany and the University of Nairobi, obtaining a PhD (1971) from the University of Nairobi, where she also taught veterinary anatomy. She became chair of the Department of Veterinary Anatomy and an associate professor in 1976 and 1977 respectively. In both cases, she was the first woman to attain those positions in the region. Wangari Maathai was active in the National Council of Women of Kenya in 1976– 87 and was its chairman in 1981–87. It was while she served in the National Council of Women that she introduced the idea of planting trees to help solve soil erosion. This continued to develop into a broad-based, grassroots organisation whose main focus is the planting of trees with women groups in order to conserve the environment and improve their quality of life. However, through the Green Belt Movement, she has assisted women in planting more than 20 million trees on their farms and in schools and church compounds. In 1986, the Movement established a pan-African Green Belt Network and has taught over 40 individuals from other African countries the approach. Some of these individuals have established similar tree planting initiatives in their own countries or they use some of the Green Belt Movement methods to improve their efforts. So far, some countries have successfully launched such initiatives in Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and other nations. In September 1998, she launched a campaign of the Jubilee 2000 Coalition. She has embarked on new
