Values Education Forums

Values Education Forums: Engaging your school community (part of the Values for Australian Schooling Kit) will support school communities across the country in preparing for and getting the best out of their values forums. Research emphasises the importance of a partnership approach between schools and their local communities.

 

Values Education Forums: Engaging your school community is a resource to assist schools in planning and conducting Values Education forums in their school communities.

 

This booklet provides a background to the Values Education program, the context for values education forums, advice and practical activities for forum planners, perspectives from Values Education Study schools and 12 tools that may be photocopied and freely used when planning school Values Education forums. The book also contains information on Applying for a Grant to Conduct a School Forum and a School Forum Report template.

 

Values Education Forums: Engaging your school community is one of a suite of resources in the Values for Australian Schooling Kit. The kit is designed to support schools to help make values education a core part of schooling through the implementation of the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools. The National Framework was distributed to all schools in early 2005.

 

The Values for Australian Schooling Kit was delivered to schools during the second term 2006 (first term Tasmania).
