Courage
Standing up for fundamental values, making decisions, taking action, and, when needed, questioning and disrupting established structures and views.
Dimension Acting — Leading and Enabling Change
For me
- What would I change in my teaching if I weren't afraid of criticism?
- When did I last disagree in a staff meeting?
For my class
- When did you dare to say something even though it was difficult?
- What is the difference between brave and reckless?
In the classroom
- Collect courage stories: children tell of small brave moments – not heroic deeds.
- Practise bystander scenes in role play: what do I say when someone is laughed at?

A small courage
Everyone considers: what would be a small brave step for me today? Write it down, fold it up. Tomorrow: who did it?
