Values in Action Schools Project
VASP – Values in Action Schools Project – is a national project in which clusters of schools are funded to design, implement and evaluate the outcomes of high quality values education projects. The Values in Action Schools Project reflects the Australian Government’s commitment to high quality schooling and to the role that effective, planned and systematic values education can have in improving social and academic outcomes for Australian students. VASP will build on the significant values education work that has taken place in schools since the National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools was sent to all schools in 2005.
All Australian schools, through cluster arrangements, were invited to apply for grants to support school clusters designing, implementing and reporting on innovative values in action education projects during the 2009 school year. The VASP Cluster projects have been funded to conduct high quality values in action projects. These will provide evidence-based guidance to all schools on how to effectively use values education to improve educational outcomes for the long-term benefit of students, teachers and the whole school community.
