3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
| Learners will identify elements of their own beliefs and values,
establish how their personal system of values and beliefs developed
and establish connections to community values and beliefs. Learners'
understanding of their value systems may then be applied to develop
understanding the relationship to the roles they play in the larger
community. Learners first define, in their own words, definitions
of belief and value terms. Learners are then to identify how and when
these values affect the various roles they play in different situations. |
