Using role models to promote values in the teen classroom

Bring positive role-models into your teenage classroom with these inspiring lesson activity ideas from Laura Sigsworth. There’s a motivational THiNK poster and accompanying worksheet included too!

Values are what we need to guide us through life, and to inform the way in which we interact with others. Parents, teachers, schools and societies have an obligation to convey positive values to the next generation, but telling teens how they should or should not behave is rarely the most effective way of getting the message across to them!

A better way could be to model behavior yourself, or even better, to use positive role models in your class to promote the values that you want to evoke in your students.
