Cultivating the Virtues Video Lessons

Disciple of Christ, Education in Virtue

This much-loved video lesson series makes it easy to teach virtue in your classroom throughout the year.

“But how do I teach this?”

When you haven’t seen it done before, teaching something entirely new is daunting. That’s where this video series can help — bringing you and your students lessons on each virtue taught by an expert: a Dominican Sister of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist.

I would write down their classroom norms on the board as a list for all the students to see. Afterwards, I would give them a copy of the “virtue cheat sheet” and with their partners, they would have to identify which virtue(s) go with each classroom norm. For example: “Do not disrupt a teacher when they are speaking” would connect with “Respect” “Modesty” “Self-Control” “Docility,” etc. It was amazing with how receptive my students were in engaging in this activity and even more impressed to hear them using the vocabulary so quickly.
