4. Module # 2 – Framing and Internalizing My Values
Instructor Preparation
Title of Module: Framing and Internalizing My Values
Instructor:
The intent of this module is to provide a forum for discussion about values. Values are
principles that are the foundational elements of an individual. Everyone has values, but
an individual’s values may be very different from others. Values constantly evolve;
some have been a part of one’s life for such a long time that it is difficult to identify
them specifically.
Core values shape students’ culture and define the character of their being. Core
values also define the foundation of businesses and the character of the work that they
do. These factors should be recognized as students, future braille transcribers, and
contractors for various work/services.
