taught virtues

building moral virtues into the academic curriculum

PSHE and Citizenship are often used as an academic opportunity to discuss moral virtues, but are there other opportunities in different subjects?

drama & performance

Can we work through moral dilemmas in action and deed? Is the moral compass at work in our performances?

literature & stories

What choices did the characters make and why? Are there better choices that could be made?

history & current affairs

Can we see moral issues through historical events that have occurred? Can we see history repeating itself in our world? How were these answered and could things be different?

Can you think of other 'taught' opportunities to build virtues into the curriculum?
