Dr Neil Hawkes is speaking on Thursday 15 October - click image to download PDF poster.
“In a values-based school the shared values language comes to inform everything that a school does and says. It underpins pedagogy, leadership, planning, policy positions, curriculum practices and behavioural expectations. If there is no common values language, if the values within the school are neither owned nor shared by the school community, there can be no basis for implementing effective, planning and systematic values education.”

The GSA, together with MGSE and the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, are inviting graduate student teachers (pre-service teachers), beginning teachers and educators to hear a presentation by noted international educator Dr Neil Hawkes on his experiences of introducing values-based education into schools in London and in Australia.
