  The LITTLE GUIDE For Teachers of Ethical Education

  The LITTLE Guide for Teachers of Ethical Education is aimed at teachers and other educators. It was developed out of the Little - Learn Together to Live Together Project. The Guidelines build on the LITTLE online course available elsewhere on this site. While the online course provides support on methodologies for Ethical Education the guide is focused more specifically on gaining knowledge, skills and capabilities related to active learning or active classroom approaches in combination with co-created teaching.
