Join us for an insightful professional development session on the power of role models in shaping and inspiring Good Work—that is, work that is ethical, excellent, and personally meaningful. In this session, we will explore how role models influence our understanding of what it means to engage in work that not only meets high standards but also aligns with our values and sense of purpose. Drawing from the core concepts of The Good Project, we’ll discuss how educators can use role models to help students connect their learning to real-world examples of individuals who have made a positive impact through their work.

This session will highlight the importance of exposing students to diverse role models who exemplify ethical decision-making, excellence in their craft, and a commitment to the greater good. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your teaching practice and help students connect with the transformative power of role models and mentors in their journey towards doing good work.

This professional development session is free of charge and all attendees earn a professional development certificate for the hour. However, space is limited. Please reserve your space today and consider donating to The Good Project to help keep these sessions free and open for all.

Join us for an enriching professional development session unveiling our new Four-Year Developmental Curriculum. Based on the popular one-year version, these globally-inspired lesson plans move moves students through four stages: good person, good worker, good citizen, and a capstone that asks students to put these ideas together. Over the curriculum, students are guided through a series of questions central to understanding the importance of good work in our society, including:

• How do I define “good work”? How do others define it?

• What does it take to carry out good work?

• What are my own personal standards of good work?

• What are professional standards for good work, and how does that relate to my life as a student and as a worker?

• What are some of the factors that make it difficult to carry out good work? How can I prepare myself for these challenges?

• How can my community and/or my workplace support good work?

• Why is good work important to society?

During this session, participants will gain practical tools for implementing the new lesson plans and explore how these resources promote excellence, ethics, and engagement in students’ lives both in and out of the classroom.

This session also provides a valuable opportunity to connect with fellow educators who have contributed to, or are working with, the same resources. Participants will exchange ideas and best practices for adapting the lessons to different curricula, integrating culturally responsive teaching, and fostering critical thinking. 

As always, partipants who attend the live event earn a one-hour professional development certificate from The Good Project.
