Creating Caring Classrooms: Book A: Junior Primary

Teaching & Learning About Values Education

By Anna-Kaye Forsyth

This three-book series aims to integrate values into the everyday school curriculum, and encourages students to think about their own values and those of others within the broader context of traditional school subjects such as English, The Arts, Drama, Music, Social Sciences, and more.

The values covered in the resource include Diversity, Community, Respect and Care, Integrity, Inquiry, Curiosity, and Excellence. Each book contains lesson plans and activities that cover multiple curriculum areas and is divided into sections for each school subject, with the first two activities in each subject set at a basic level, and the last two at a more advanced level. The diverse range of activities in the resource means that teachers can pick and choose relevant activities as desired, or use the resource as the basis for a comprehensive values education unit.

• Book A: Junior Primary for ages 5-8
• Book B: Middle Primary for ages 8-10
• Book C: Senior Primary for ages 10-12
