@BushinskiSusan @MichiganCJ @jeffmoore without a community. So many people have been traumatized by school. “Repair our world” #valuesweshare @edutooters @edutooter

@jeffmoore @edutooters @edutooter Values, when discussed, tweaked, and agreed upon can offer a referent to the meaning of democracy and a renewal of courage in times of confusion. #diligence in a word. Here is a proposal for a beginning. Seven valuesweshare. #valuesweshare #edutooter #education #democracy

@dunkindona #valuesweshare could be the guides for democracy #democracy

#introduction retired college instructor in Seattle in early childhood education. A direct descendant of John Dewey’s students, I grew up when education was a valued public investment. I work to sustain Dewey’s lineage with young children and college students (before and after K-12 years of relative imprisonment). I have put online resources to carry on the work. It’s all free and unlike anything you have seen. tomdrummond.com #highered #sotl #earlychildhood #pedagogy #valuesweshare #democracy

TRUST
We listen carefully to discover the ways of being of others as we stay truthful ourselves.
What others choose to do is how they are being in this here and now; it says nothing of the future.
We maintain our faith and love, unconditionally.
We listen.
Responsibility emerges through trust.
When trust is a value, we remain aware of the fundamental goodness that comes with being human.

WHOLENESS
We appreciate others, young and old, as whole, competent, capable human beings, connected to other children and adults.
Humans are an indefinite, integrated complexity — with bodies, minds, emotions, creativity, history, cultures and identity.
Children are not bearing needs, nor are they incomplete.
Children, parents and members of the community are competent.
When wholeness is a value, we remain aware of the fundamental goodness of being human. #valuesweshare #democracy #joy

JOY
We are playful, cherishing spontaneity, laughter, wonder, and vibrancy.
When joy is a value, we make sure we enter each moment in good humor and loving kindness.

PARTICIPATION
We invite the participation of all into creating our possibility and defining our opportunity through our interaction.
We offer spaces (physical and social), languages, time, and organizational systems that are open, and somewhat indefinite.
School is a form of community life.
When participation is a value, we make sure every outlier is included and has a voice.

RECIPROCITY OF RELATIONSHIPS
We are, ourselves, becoming and changing, in a passionate, compassionate, and aesthetic relationship with those whose lives we wish to enhance.
In the exchange with each other, as allies-in-action, we disarm power and privilege.
We thrive in the beauty of our being together.
When reciprocity of relationships is a value, we stay open to being profoundly changed in every encounter.

WELL-BEING
We offer an ethic of care for health, in all dimensions, for children and families.
An ethic of care maintains and repairs our world so we can live in the best way possible.
We enable groups and individuals to think critically and question our commonplace assumptions, within our relationships with each other.
When well-being is a value, anytime we find something unhealthy, we fix it, even if it is difficult to do.

BELONGING
We ensure the perception of being included in diverse and multiple communities.
Children belong at school, in care settings, at home, in the family, and in the community; whatever situation people find themselves in, they belong.
Families belong.
Teachers belong.
The community belongs.
When belonging is a value, anytime we find someone who does not feel included, we fix it.
