The goals
of humane education are to teach compassion and respect for all living
things, to promote responsibility, and to help create a community that
embraces humane values.
What is humane
education?
Humane education
is a process through which we assist children in developing the values
of compassion, empathy, justice, and respect for all living things —
ourselves, other human beings, animals, and the earth.
Humane education
provides the knowledge and understanding necessary to enable children
to make life-enhancing choices and behave in alignment with these values.
Humane education
helps to foster a sense of responsibility and pride on the part of children
to affirm and act upon their personal beliefs.
