    The teachers play an important role in nurturing values
    in the schools. Apart from the pedagogical approach, teachers
    leadership qualities and their relationships with students, other
    teachers, principal, staff members, parents, and community all
    constitute areas of influence on development of values among
    students. Teachers relations with others are influenced by
    many factors, such as his/her self and identity, attitudes,
    leadership style, and communication skills.
    The self and identity of teachers has probably the
    strongest influence on their interactions and relationships with
    others. The self refers to the sum of all the perceptions that one
    holds about oneself. Depending upon the strength and quality of these perceptions (positive or
    negative), the self develops negatively or positively.
    The approach to teaching is influenced by the teachers attitudes toward children and toward
    teaching. The implicit assumptions about how children learn?, who is a child and what are their
    psycho-social characteristics?, inform our teaching-learning practices.
    A teacher has to provide effective leadership to the students within and outside the school.
    They could guide students to manage their work and conduct in ways to avoid punishment and
    criticism from teachers and parents, and work effectively towards their educational goals.
    Communication skills influence interactions and relationships a teacher could develop with
    the principal, students, staff, and occasionally with the community. The quality of these
    interactions affects the teachers efficiency as well. During teaching the subjects, teachers could
    make explicit the values inherent in the content. All the subjects like science, social sciences,
    languages, etc., are connected with real life and each one has immense potential to convey
    values. The real purpose of teaching these subjects is to understand their implications in real life
    situations, including value inculcation. Integrated approach to teaching values is more likely to
    enable students to imbibe them.
    Evaluation of values is different from evaluation of any other ability or learning. It poses
    problems as impact of values on behaviour takes time to become visible and may not be
    expressed at a time convenient for observation by others, particularly teachers. The students may
    report inculcation of values but real behaviour may or may not reflect the same. The evaluation
    would require systematic data collection on efforts made for nurturing identified values such as
    cleanliness, health and physical fitness, self development, work ethics and cooperation, non-
    violence in verbal and non-verbal behaviour, respect for life and nature, etc.
    Education is not only about training of minds but also for the purity of heart and self-growth.
    Values constitute an integral part of the process of education. An emphasis on values, while
    talking about education, does not imply that something extra and additional is being stressed on.
    The process of education inherently involves transmission of values. As held by Seshadri (2005),
    education is a process of bringing about desirable changes in the way one thinks, feels, and acts
    in accordance with ones concept of good life. (p.10).
    Education needs to respond constructively to the twin concerns of individual and societal
    well-being. We are simultaneously individuals as well as social beings. Interdependence and
    complementarity are the valuable key features of todays world.
    The values have to be woven into the curriculum, school environment, and teaching-
    learning process in a way that these facilitate transmission of values in children. Learning needs
    to be illustrative of values in action. By value informed design of the modes of interaction between
    students and students, students and teachers, and teachers and teachers within the school setup,
    possibilities for developing and reinforcing values may be created. This requires
    commitment and determination on the part of teachers and investment of the system to stand by
    the values they admire. Being alert to the occasions in classroom interactions, possibilities can
    be created to learn, practice and enact values.
    Curriculum does not only include academic activities but co-curricular activities also. Thus,
    every activity may convey implicitly or explicitly a chosen value. To organize any curriculum in
    such a way as to inculcate values, we need first be aware of the objectives of the curriculum.
    Education and schools are viewed as the medium to transform values in society and nurture
    a culture of peace. Education should foster peace and tolerance among students, especially in a
    multicultural society like ours. Schools can promote a culture of peace by stressing on the goals
    of social justice, secularism, egalitarianism, democracy, tolerance and appreciation of diversity.
    Wells and Evans (2003) said that peace does not mean running from conflicts, but rather bringing
    consciousness to the moment when conflict takes place and participating in a process of conflict
    transformation which has been taught and reinforced through the educational system. It
    encompasses relevant curriculum designed to cultivate an environment where questioning,
    critical thinking and compassion are encouraged in and out of the school setting.
    Education prepares the mind with universal love and tolerance irrespective of differences in
    religion, caste, ethnicity, language and culture. A culture of peace should be introduced through
    education at all levels starting from preliminary level. It has to be impressed in the minds from
    early childhood that it is peace and not violence that helps human civilisation to survive and
    flourish. Peace education, however, yet has to get an appropriate place in the process of
    education. The lives and ideals of great men who preached for love and peace should get due
    importance in our study materials.
