School values often look great on posters and sound inspiring in assemblies—but what happens when the bell rings and lessons begin? In this episode of Empowering the Educator Within, we’ll explore simple, practical ways to make those values part of your daily teaching.
From quick, in-the-moment connections to intentional planning strategies, you’ll learn how to weave values into any subject, without adding to your already full schedule. Plus, I’ll share how a small change to your planning process can make it second nature to highlight perseverance, empathy, responsibility, and more—lesson after lesson.
If you’re looking for tools to help put these ideas into practice, the Empowering the Educator Within book and workbook offer ready-to-use planning templates, and ESBPlanners makes it easy to embed value prompts directly into your daily and weekly plans.
Whether you’re working with a school-wide initiative or looking to strengthen your own classroom culture, this episode will give you strategies you can start using tomorrow.
