In this episode, we welcome Katrina Alvir, an experienced teacher and expert in character education. With years of experience in classical education, Katrina shares valuable insights on how parents and educators can inspire children in developing virtues and forming good habits. She discusses the power of real-life role models, consistent example and practical ways to integrate character education into daily life.

Discussion Points:

  • Integrating Virtues into the Curriculum – How to weave character education seamlessly into daily lessons.
  • Creating a Classroom Culture of Virtue – Practical ways to encourage responsibility, respect, and kindness.
  • The Importance of Acknowledging Mistakes – How apologising to students fosters humility, trust, and teaches them the value of taking responsibility.

  • Being Truly Present – The power of showing up and giving hope
