Values Clusters Projects

Selection and start up process

Curriculum Corporation will manage the task of identifying and selecting school cluster projects through a competitive application process.

Evaluations

All receipted and compliant applications will be read and scored against the selection criteria. Each application will be read and scored by Curriculum Corporation project officers and the relevant state or territory project officer. A national selection panel representing key national stakeholders will read and score the resultant short list of applications. The selection panel’s recommended list of cluster projects will be forwarded to DEEWR for final approval.

Announcement of selection

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations will inform Curriculum Corporation of its final choice of the 12 successful cluster projects. Curriculum Corporation will contact successful and unsuccessful clusters.  The successful clusters will be published on the Values Education website: http://www.valueseducation.edu.au

National Briefing Session 10 December 2008

Two representatives of each successful cluster will be required, as part of their project commitment, to take part in a National Briefing Session in Melbourne on 10 December 2008. Each cluster application must confirm that, if successful, they will nominate and provide two representatives, from two different schools in the cluster, to attend.

Participating clusters will be informed about travel and accommodation arrangements and the agenda for the briefing session. Curriculum Corporation will fund and manage air travel, accommodation and meal arrangements for all participants.

Project work begins

Successful Values in Action Schools Project clusters will commence their projects at the beginning of the school year 2009. As part of the project start up, Curriculum Corporation staff will work with each cluster to refine, shape and translate their project proposal into an achievable project plan. The plan will articulate the cluster project objectives, methodology, activities, deliverables, schedule, budget and personnel. The project plans will be signed off by Curriculum Corporation and by all schools by end February 2009.
