How It Works

The SST Core Values Certification has a qualified certification group and a process leader who assists the school in the certification process. Through this process:

• The school is certified, meets specific requirements, and has developed a core values policy. The school conducts a self-assessment and is certified by SST.
• The school staff is certified through the course’s teaching, literature, tests, and personal reflection papers.

Qualifications:

• Participate in two full days of recorded lectures and group discussions based on discussion questions, with webinars available.
• Individually engage with two blocks of 8 hours of web-based instruction.
• Take a final exam and write a reflection paper.
• After completing the certification, a diploma will be issued.

Resources:

• Web portal with course materials.
• Large-scale webinars.
• Lectures via the internet.
• Local group work within the staff group based on provided working materials.

Examination:

• Written exam/quiz.
• Personal reflection paper, including reflections, strategy, and goals for the values foundation work.
• Participation in the local staff group’s values foundation work.

Significant emphasis is placed on the teacher’s own reflection and the ability to formulate a personal stance on values-based issues.
