Since value first will be the focus for ST2, how much focus should we place on student leadership?

I would like to ask everyone what is your opinion- Values before knowledge?
ReplyDeleteIs your answer is Yes, to what extent you would emphasize on Values/Character/SEL in your lessons? Are we game enough to give this area a credible weightage in our IP area?
As for the student leadership, I personally feel that it is the core area for pupils' character development as pupils need platforms/opportunities to showcase/develop their leadership competencies.
However we need to track the profile of our pupils so that we would give more pupils leadership opportunities instead of taxing the same crop of student leaders who play many roles (CCC, prefect/PSL, CCA, Class committee).

With students of good character, teaching and hopefully learning, becomes so much easier. How many times have we talked to teachers and their gripe has always been the character/behaviour of students, not academic.So YES, values first. So how do we walk the talk? Must really discuss this...because the initial stage of implementation is the most crucial and difficult as it sets the tone. -Anisa
