I studied a little about this but not for ECE training....it was a world religion course.
Here is a cool web-site that lists the virtues we all aim to have. You can print out a copy of the list of virtues from the Family & Parenting page.
I put a copy in each folder I have for incoming families. I also have one laminated and hung on our entryway bulletin board.
