Learning Objectives

Introducing Values and Attitudes
Let’s think
about our
values and
attitudes
Understanding your own values and attitudes is
an important part of anti-bias work.
So, what are values? Briefly, our values are our
beliefs and principles about what is right and
wrong and what is important in our lives. Our
values help to define who we are and how we
behave. Values differ from person to person, as
well as across cultures, families and communities.
Attitudes are the way we express our values. For
example, if you rate family high you will work
hard and be prepared to sacrifice to ensure the
best for them.

the supporting document “Values and
attitudes”.

This next activity will increase your awareness of your
attitudes and values, and how they affect the choices
you make.
It has been decided to send a group of people to a
recently discovered island where they will live an
isolated existence for the next 50 years in order to
create a new society.
You are heading the mission and you need to choose
12 people who have applied for the expedition to
accompany you on the island to start this new society.

Exploring Own Attitudes and Values

values/
Now that you have chosen your team of 12
people, let’s explore the choices you made and
your reasons for making them.
 Click on the “Deepen your knowledge Part 1”
link and complete the activities.
As you answer the questions for this activity,
consider what your own attitude might be and
what (if any) “work” might be needed to work
on an attitude that is or could be discriminatory.
 Once you have completed all the activities
you may continue.

Let’s look at:
Persona Dolls are one of
the most effective ways to
help children “unlearn”
negative or discriminatory
attitudes. Let’s look at
how one instructor helps
children understand that
people living with
disabilities are competent
and active.
