Improving Teacher Practice through Values Education Student learning, both academic and social–emotional, will improve if the relationship between teacher and student is strong, respectful and trusting. This project was based on the premise that improved teaching practice impacts positively on student learning. Teacher master classes focused on building teacher skill and commitment to values education. Living and Growing Our Values The Palmerston Values Cluster sought to identify a professional learning community of teachers to implement an action learning project focusing on explicitly embedding values into literacy with a specific emphasis on narrative storytelling. Teachers focused on the values of respect and responsibility, both within school and more broadly in the community. Values in Action: Building Resilience and Inclusion This innovative project sought to improve the way schools report to parents and the community about the behaviours and attitudes of students by developing tools to assess values in the naturalistic setting of everyday activities at school. The Values Exchange This project explored values education through social and global issues via a blend of face-to-face and innovative virtual experiences. Learning and Acting for Poverty In this project, Year 5 to 8 students undertook an investigation into poverty, its causes and consequences in the contemporary world. The project focus provided a meaningful and authentic conduit for the explicit teaching and modelling of values. Connecting Communities Students need a shared values-base and social and negotiation skills to navigate an increasingly complicated world. This project deployed a variety of student-centred inquiries connecting in real and meaningful ways with their communities. Section 4: Appendices 127
