Our Values is a new series that is being introduced in primary classes (1 to 5) to promote social and moral behaviour and aid in character-building.

The series provides a value-based code of conduct and awareness about etiquette and manners; it helps students to distinguish between right and wrong, and guides their attitudes and behaviour. The emphasis is on teaching values like honesty, truthfulness, kindness, justice, and the importance of tolerance and respect for all human beings irrespective of colour, creed, religion, and nationality. The topics are presented in a manner that does not moralize but creates interest through stories, case studies, features, and anecdotes. Importance is given to critical thinking and discussions through stimulating exercises and activities that reinforce learning and understanding.

Teacher’s notes with each lesson give helpful tips, ideas, and explanations for effective teaching so that learning becomes a pleasant experience for young students.
