5.0 out of 5 stars A useful handbook for teaching values to students, December 8, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Values Clarification: A Handbook of Practical Strategies for Teachers and Students (Paperback)

In this book , Simon et al offer over 70 different activities and written exercises designed to help people learn about values and explore their own values. Although it is ostensibly targeted to school-teachers, the strategies are useful for all ages. One very interesting aspect is that the book refrains from endorsing any particular values. Instead, the concept they have is that we need to treat students more as autonomous valuing beings that already have a fairly well defined system of values. A student's problem is not that he has no ideas about what is good/bad right/wrong. Rather he does know these things but is usually confused about his own beliefs. The activities are thought provoking and diverse.

This is a great, objective book that helped provide some of the best conversations I and my staff and groups have ever had. For those who aren't afraid to share their true selves and emotions and who are looking for some unique ways to open up groups--this is the book for you.
