How might we help teachers better involve parents in values development in a fun and meaningful way?

Sprouts Conversational Toolkit

Our Discovery

Busy but passionate teachers need more effective ways to inculcate values in students as they struggle to find time beyond the classroom to affirm their students’ values-learning.

Willing parents who find it awkward to talk about values in abstraction need help to get values-based conversations going as they face difficulties in keeping them open and engaging, while disinterested parents need to be enticed to have such conversations with their children.

Our Innovation

Sprouts is a platform that enhances the child’s values-learning. It does so by enabling adults and children to hold values-based conversations together, beyond the classroom. Through Sprouts, we (the adults) can also gain a better understanding of a child’s concept of values and how much they have learnt.
