Overview

An investigation into how schools can influence the developing values of young people is given in this book. The authors first look, from the perspective of educationalists and policy makers, at values within contemporary education; in particular, moral, spiritual, democratic and environmental values together with arts and health education. Secondly, they focus on the values of pupils and schools, examining school aims and mission statements, the formal curriculum, school ethos and assessment of children's development. Insights are provided with guidance on how values may be most effectively incorporated into the activities of the schools. This book is intended to provide a practical and informative guide to all those involved in primary and secondary education and those interested in values education generally.
