Welcome to the Quest4 Values Site
"Each and everyone of us make a difference. We don’t have to try to make a difference because we already do. The only question each of us need answer is, ‘what kind of difference do we want to make’. Do we want our influence to be mediocre, or do we want to make a positive difference in our world?
Life offers each of us this great opportunity; It is the opportunity to live an ordinary life in an extra-ordinary way."
D. Trinidad Hunt
Values and the development of an ethical moral character may be the cornerstone of all educational practices. As the child grows into a young adult and the young adult becomes a contributing member of society, values will guide their thinking, actions and goals.
Values and moral development happen over a number of years and in a multitude of environments. As students progress through school, values education can provide vital opportunities for both explicit and implicit understanding about behaviors that work for a healthy society. This begins with the classroom as a microcosm of society, and as the student develops, expands to the entire school, community, culture, and the world at large.
The Quest4Values curriculum was developed towards this end: to provide explicit and implicit opportunities for learning about and developing healthy values.
Using a three-pronged model of intellectual qualities (IQ), emotional qualities (EQ), and social qualities (SQ), the Q4V curriculum provides a refreshing approach to values education.
The program uses a rich multi-sensory approach to learning with stories, activities, discussion points, drawing and writing projects as well as colouring pages in the early primary years.
As the program progresses through the middle and upper grades the multi-sensory approach continues and the focus becomes leadership skills for the young adult.
As you peruse the product area, you will find many learning tools to support your work in the classroom or in your home school educational program. These include learning cards, table-talkers, posters, family products, and DVD’s as well as placemats for the early years.
