The Quakers have a central belief in living out one's values. They have framed these ideas as Testimonies, meaning that one's life should be a testimony to one's beliefs and values. As teachers, parents and educators, we are doing this all the time, whether we are conscious about it or not. The ways that we live our lives, speak to each other, and make choices are the blueprint for how young children will learn live their lives, speak to each other and make choices. We are never perfect in living up to this (for example, I was not my best self today), but it is important that we acknowledge the importance of our behavior, not just our words. I love that I work in a place where this is valued, and I love that as teachers, families, and a community we are bringing these values to young children.
