Families
Let’s be honest: you’d do just about anything for your child. You never knew how intense a love for another life could be until you had one, and before that, you didn’t know love that intense was even possible. You want nothing but the very best for them; you give your all and do your very best so that they grow into the bright, beautiful people you know they can be. You make your decisions for your child based on your core values, the things you know intuitively to be right and true. Your family’s core values create the backbone, consistency, and culture for every family member to thrive in every aspect of life.
You love your child, and you care about them more than words can convey. You also know how profoundly important family values are in their formation as people: they establish behaviors, what children know to be right and wrong, how they feel, and how they interact with the world.
School is different now – studies show that up to 80% of students have experienced cyber-bullying, and 70% are uninterested in school. Stressed teachers teach mandated curriculums dictated by standardized testing, as if a child could come “standard.” Imagine if your child woke up thinking, “I get to go to school today!” At Got Core Values℠, we’re bringing that imagination to life.
We survey teachers, students, administrators, support staff, community members, and students’ families regarding their core values. Then, we facilitate the wordsmithing process to distill the responses into core values that all members of the community agree upon. Then, it’s just a matter of living those values: because everyone agrees, “This is how we do things here,” accountability establishes itself from within, and students strive towards greatness.
Children discovering their strengths, confidently growing into their own potential; empowered, passionate teachers nurturing and fostering that potential, guiding it towards possibility beyond school yard fences; children, in turn, discovering the value of community, and wanting to contribute to it. Just imagine it. They would make these discoveries inside and outside the classroom, as the communally created culture permeates the various facets of school life. And we can help your child’s school build this culture.
We can help your family define your unique core values as well. As a result, your children will be more engaged at school and happier with their learning environment. This process will enable them to listen to their inner voice, find their true passions, and gain confidence to make good choices throughout their lives, creating lives that they’re proud to be living – and lives that you’ll be proud of, too.
We would love you to join with us in the positive culture movement and encourage your school to define their core values. We also are developing resources for families and will be sharing those soon.
