Values that were suggested to be revised
Respect - falls under relationships
Relationships - Some participants considered relationships to be less important or felt that it was implied in other values, such as collaboration or respect.
Courageous Resilience - Several participants expressed doubts about the relevance of this value in an educational context. Some felt it was more of a life skill rather than a school-related value.
Equity - There were mixed opinions about the inclusion of equity as a value. Some participants questioned its practicality and implications in an educational setting. Others preferred the term "equality" and believed it should be used instead.
Innovation - A few participants felt that innovation might not be as applicable in the way classes are structured, suggesting that there are limited opportunities for innovation.
