The Values Education Good Practice Schools Project – Stage 2 Final Report
At the Heart of What We Do: Values Education at the Centre of Schooling – The Final Report of the Values Education Good Practice Schools Project – Stage 2 outlines the learnings and outcomes of twenty-five school clusters from around Australia that were funded by the Australian Government to design, implement and evaluate quality projects in values education which reflected and utilised the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools in local contexts.
Values in Action Schools Project – successful clusters
In October 2008, the Australian Government invited all Australian schools to apply for funding for the Values in Action Schools Project (VASP). VASP is an Australian Government initiative in which clusters of schools will be funded to design, implement and evaluate the outcomes of high quality values education projects.
The successful VASP clusters projects have been selected and commenced their work with a briefing session in Melbourne in December 2008.
The Values in Action Schools Project will build on the work previously undertaken by schools since the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools was instigated in 2005.
The findings from this project will provide guidance to all Australian schools on using good practice values education outcomes for the long-term benefit of the whole school community.
