The teaching resources presented below offer classroom intervention intended to promote the virtues of compassion and gratitude in years 7 and 8. The intervention was piloted as part of the Gratitude and Related Character Virtues project.
The resources include a Teacher Handbook: Cultivating Compassion (Learning to Feel, Think and Behave Kindly Towards Others) and accompanying Student Workbook: The Good Samaritan both of which focus on the developing compassion in pupils. The Teacher Handbook: Growing Gratitude (Cultivating an Appreciative Outlook on Life) and accompanying Student Workbook: St Oscar’s Oscars present materials designed to cultivate the virtue of gratitude in the classroom.
Some activities are short and have been designed with a view to their implementation in form time. Other activities require a longer session and could take place in PSHE lessons, English or drama lessons or any lesson where the form group is taught together.
