Every decision a school makes is values
based.
What is emphasised, included in or omitted from the school curriculum,
the relationships fostered and encouraged with the parent community,
among staff and between staff and students, the school’s
classroom organisation, preferred pedagogical approaches and
behaviour management strategies all reflect the values of the
principal, staff and the school community.
In a sense schools can never be values neutral.
The Curriculum Framework (1988) defines values as:
| ...the beliefs we hold. They are the
ideas about what someone or a group thinks is important
in life and they play a very important part in our decision
making. |
|
|
These values are either explicitly or implicitly endorsed in
all of the Curriculum Framework’s eight learning area
outcomes.
The Curriculum Council has also made explicit the links between
the values in the Curriculum Framework and those outlined
in the National Values for Australian Schooling:
