Footnote for Educators, Leaders & Students:
Why engage with the Desmond Doss Edusodes™?
These Edusodes are relevant today, especially for young people to admire these character traits, and through education make “point of decision” actions to adopt these traits and values into their own lives.
Here are several ways to get involved*:
- A Formal Classroom Setting – where a teacher will “go deeper” into the Desmond Doss POD Experience – you will be invited to explore your points of decision with each Edusode. Get a “battle buddy” and get ready for an exciting interactive experience!
- A Study Group with Your Friends – meet and discuss the questions posed by the Edusode Instructor, Dick Stenbakken, Ed. D | Chaplin (Colonel) U.S. Army (Ret.)
- Personally Visit – the DDF website and surf thorough the Edusodes at your own pace, desmonddossfoundation.org
* For extra credit, ask your teacher if you can turn in your Points-of-Decision (POD’s) responses to the Interactive Questionnaire at the end of the Edusodes.
As with Edusode 1 – Courage, each Edusode is accompanied by a series of questions that can be discussed in a classroom or group setting where the questions posed enables those in attendance to share their thoughts regarding each Edusode and its impact on their life. Other settings can be special venues where the teacher/professor, instructor, or leader (weekend retreats etc.) will invite the attendees to explore their Points-of-Decision for each character value presented: Whichever way you choose to experience the Edusodes we believe you will be inspired to live a life of greater fulfillment.
The Desmond Doss Foundation exists because of the incredible heroism displayed by our namesake, Medal of Honor recipient Desmond T. Doss, whose character values are the basis for all we do. In fulfilling Desmond’s dream of inspiring young people to live a positive character driven life, we have produced educational “Edusodes” aimed specifically at young people, leaders, and emerging leaders while at the same time supporting causes for Veterans and 1st Responders, who put their lives on the line every day to protect us. To this end we are committed to carrying forward Desmond’s legacy for generations to come.
