CORE VALUES
The core values are the guiding principles that dictate behavior and action. The
core values are those values we hold which form the foundation on which we
perform work and conduct ourselves. We have an entire universe of values, but
some of them are so primary, so important to us that throughout the changes in
society, government, politics, and technology they are still the core values we
will abide by. In an ever-changing world, core values are constant. Core values
are not descriptions of the work we do or the strategies we employ to accomplish
our mission. The core values are the basic elements of how we go about our
work. They are the practices we use (or should be using) every day in
everything we do.
For the examples of core values refer to the activity on core values.

Any of the core values mentioned in the activity can be written here other than
the ones mentioned in your syllabus (Respect, Responsibility, Integrity,
Resilience, Care, Harmony).
