2009 Values Education Workshops

During 2009 a series of workshops will be provided throughout Queensland to support schools to explore and familiarise themselves with the resources for Values Education that have been developed by the Curriculum Corporation. It is suggested that schools send along a team. The team could consist of:

Principals / Deputy Principals / teachers
Pastoral care / behaviour management staff
Curriculum Coordinators

This team could then take a leadership role for work done in Values Education at their school.

Values Education Leadership Breakfasts

There will be four Values Education Leadership Breakfasts throughout the state during 2009 - one each term. These Breakfasts will feature Dr Ron Tooth, Principal of Pullenvale Environmental Education Centre, who will be addressing the topic:

Learning for Sustainability: A Whole School Approach to Values Education

These Breakfasts are FREE for State Schools, but will cost $25 per head for Non State school attendees.

Because of the emphasis on a whole school approach to Values Education in these keynote addresses, these breakfasts are particularly aimed at current and aspiring school leaders.

Values Education EXPO

This Expo will be for all educators who have an interest in values education. There will be a keynote address followed by a showcase of:

a selection of innovative and exciting values education projects that have been implemented in Queensland schools during 2009.
A wide variety of resources available for teachers to access to strengthen their work in values education
