Join us for a relaxing and inspiring two- and a half-day weekend workshop at the Anubhuti Retreat Centre in Novato, California. This LVEP workshop will be led by Diane Tillman, Licensed Educational Psychologist and the primary author of the award-winning Living Values Series, Kyoko Kimura and Jane McCord. Skills to create a values-based atmosphere and values activities will be explored. The workshop will also include information about LVE's theoretical model, the breadth of the program internationally, and time for reflection, sharing, role playing, walks and play.

RESULTS: The most frequent themes noted by educators implementing Living Values Education are positive changes in teacher-student relationships and in student-student relationships both inside and outside the classroom. Educators note an increase in respect, caring, cooperation, motivation, and the ability to solve peer conflicts on the part of the students. Aggressive behaviors decline as positive social skills and respect increase. LVEP helps educators create safe, caring, values-based atmospheres for quality learning
