Living Values: An Educational Program Educator Training Guide

Developed and written by Diane G. Tillman and Pilar Quera Colomina 

A Comprehensive Guide for LVEP Trainers

LIVING VALUES: AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM is a partnership of educators around the world. DIANE TILLMAN and PILAR QUERA COLOMINA, the authors of this LVEP Educator Training Guide, both travel internationally to train educators, facilitators and other adults to use the Living Values Activities curriculum and to create a values-based atmosphere. LVEP is supported by UNESCO.

Living Values: An Educational Program (LVEP) is being used worldwide by educators and facilitators to provide an approach for children, young adults and parents to explore twelve key core values. This effective character development program builds positive emotional and social skills, self-esteem, emotional intelligence and creative expression - the necessary wellspring of skills that will enable children to respond positively to an ever-changing and diverse society.

Designed to be participatory and experiential, this guide is written for anyone who wishes to facilitate Living Values training. To be used with the Living Values Activities books, this guide offers:

• Scripted reflective sessions and content for all the training sessions.
• Sample training agendas for one-, two- and three-day educator trainings and a five-day train-the-trainer session.
• Easy-to-design methods based on the inclusion of each Training Component.
• Overheads and handouts that are also available in colour online.
• Evaluation forms for educators and students.

People who wish to be LVEP trainers should be professional educators: teachers, teacher trainers, education officials and psychologists who already have existing sklls in training adults or facilitating groups. They will need to participate in a LVEP Train-the-Trainer course. Please contact the Living Values website for training information at www.livingvalues.net
