concepts
Understanding the foundational principles behind values is crucial for students’ intellectual and moral development. The Concepts section breaks down complex values into manageable and understandable components. As teachers, we can guide students through these concepts, facilitating activities that deepen their comprehension. By exploring these foundational ideas, students can better grasp the significance of values such as honesty, respect, and responsibility, and see how they apply across various contexts in their lives.
Pathways: Values in Action has the following five-pronged approach in activating concepts to inculcate values:

This contextualization of concepts helps teachers to lead students recognize the practical applications and relevance of values education in their daily lives.
Connection
