The training materials are provided by Alive to the World international and they incorporate the latest findings of neurological and developmental studies and their impact upon the understanding of the logic of virtue and character development.
An important part of the Teacher Training Course is to help the teachers to understand how to stimulate the students to reflect and reason, and in this way to discover for themselves the beauty and importance of an integrated. The teaching strategy is comprised of three important moments:
- Knowing: A cognitive objective in which the narrative helps the student to understand the objective good in a given reality, situation or relationship.
- Accepting: the narrative tugs on the emotions, leading the students to connect personally with the concept known in order to motivate an understanding that the situation is important.
- Doing: With the help of class discussion, lead the student to adopt actions consistent with the concepts and values that apply.
Knowledge and acceptance organize feelings and illuminate actions leading to a more integrated way of being. The Golden Rule is shown to be an important device in this process in order to bring about the desired results.
