While the benefits and significance of students’ valuing in mathematics learning may be obvious to many stakeholders, it remains tricky for teachers to facilitate students’ embracing of empowering or enabling values. Values often take a long time to be internalised. In this workshop, delegates will be introduced to the JEDI approach to values development, in which the acronym stands for Justifying – Essaying – Declaring – Integrating. The psychological basis of this approach will be outlined. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience the JEDI process themselves during the workshop.

1. Classroom (mathematics) teaching is value-laden.
2. Values can be developed amongst students within an hour or so.
