The following set of approaches to Values education help educators
to become flexible in teaching. As a future educator these approaches showed me to become creative in conducting an interactive activity for my future students. I am thankful that we have these kinds of approaches to which teachers can choose and select what approaches they should apply. Also, these are essential for creating a conducive environment for them and in fulfilling my roles and responsibilities as an educator teaching values education. My students will become an effective result as I become an effective teacher to them.
