SUMMARY:Using core values in boarding
DESCRIPTION:🏷️ From £90\n📍 Online\n🎥 Watch live or on catch up\n✅ Included in BSA CPD Pass \n\nCourse content \nThis session explores how core values move from being aspirational statements to practical tools that shape everyday boarding life. Delegates will examine the difference between rules-based compliance and values-led culture\, with particular attention to how students absorb values through adult behaviour\, tone\, and decision-making. The session focuses on identifying what school values look like in daily routines\, interactions\, and moments of conflict\, and how values can be used to frame restorative conversations\, reinforce positive behaviour\, and support consistency across boarding teams. Delegates will be encouraged to reflect on their own practice and consider how values guide their responses\, especially when under pressure or fatigue. \nLearning outcomes: \n\nUnderstand how values are currently being used in schools\nUnderstand how core values shape culture and relationships in boarding\nTranslate abstract values into consistent\, observable boarding behaviours\nUse values to guide decision-making\, praise\, and sanctions\n\nBOOK NOW \n\nSpeaker: \n
