  • Character Development: The Virtues Project

    SEEd Academy embraces the Virtues Project to develop our core values and other virtues using the 5 Strategies :

    1. Speak the Language

    Language shapes character. The way we speak to one another, and the words we use, have great power to discourage or to inspire.

    Learn how to speak the language of virtues when acknowledging, guiding and correcting to bring out the best in one another. When we speak the language of virtues we replace shaming and blaming of one another with gentle reminders of who we are and how we want to be.

    1. Recognize Teachable Moments

    Recognizing the gifts and life lessons in our daily challenges helps us to cultivate our character. In everything there is virtue, either virtues being practiced or virtues needed. When we see any situation through the lens of virtues, we become more aware of the virtues we need to call on and the virtues that are already guiding us.

    1. Set Clear Boundaries

    Boundaries keep us safe. In The Virtues Project, boundaries are based on virtues. This practice creates clarity and a climate of peace and safety, in all of our relationships-- at home, in school, and in the community.

    This strategy is needed when we have a problem in any area of our life. Personal boundaries help us to build healthy relationships, and protect our time, our energy and our health.

    1. Honour the Spirit

    This strategy begins with respect for the dignity of each person and encourages us to make time for wellness, reflection, reverence, and beauty. It is expressing what is meaningful in our lives by participating in the arts, honouring special life events, time in nature, and sharing our stories with each other.

    1. Offer Companioning

    Learn how to truly listen and be present to another person. This is the strategy to use when someone else has a problem. One of the greatest gifts we have to give to another is our presence. By being deeply present and listening with both compassion and detachment, we help others to empty their cup and find their own answers. This approach empowers others to discern their teachable moments and to reflect on their virtues.
