Paper (co-authored with my PhD graduate, Kelsie Dawson) has been accepted for publication in Journal of #Moral #Education. The perceived relatability of moral exemplars significantly predicts elevation and pleasantness (-> moral motivation). Attainability boosts the effect. Moral educators may need to consider employing relatable (+ attainable) moral exemplars to promote moral motivation among students effectively.

I teach #Bahai children's classes, based on a curriculum offered by the Ruhi Institute in Colombia. Was trained up in the early 2000s at a time when I wasn't really sure whether I would have a future in #education, but never looked back. Something about the experience unlocked a love of teaching, and a special regard for #MoralEducation and #CharacterEducation. Also spent some time in workshops on the #Virtues Project and Positive Discipline.
