Dutch term or phrase: voorleven (see *** in context)

In dit verband is een aantal docenten ook geïnteresseerd hoe ze een bijdrage kunnen leveren aan de morele vorming van leerlingen via het *** voorleven *** van waarden en normen. Docenten kunnen daarnaast ook moreel vormend optreden door te reageren op actuele maatschappelijke gebeurtenissen op macroniveau in de maatschappij, of op meer dicht bij huis zich afspelende waardengeladen problemen.

Any suggestions? I can only think of something like "leading by example..", or "displaying the appropriate norms and values".
