ABSTRACT
The National Professional Development Program (NPDP) Values Review Project in Western Australia (WA) has been proactively investigating the extent to which values can be explicitly integrated into the schooling curriculum, in particular one framed within an outcome-based context. The NPDP Values Review Project was one of eighteen projects undertaken in Western Australia over a three-year period through government funding, all under the coordination of the WA Cross-sectoral Consortium (1994-6). This Consortium comprised representatives from each of the WA Government, Independent, Anglican and Catholic school authorities, the government and non-government teachers’ unions, representatives from professional and subject associations and the WA Council of Deans of Education.
