Preparing
The first step is to read the Blueprint on how to introduce Values-based Education. Next, consult with staff so that they feel a part of the process. Discuss how to consult all the school community, such as holding an event for staff, parents and governors to share the discussion. Then, once the process has been agreed, arrange for the entire staff to watch the videos below, ideally together. Finally, download the VbE Guidebook that offers specific guidance and ideas on introducing a values-based approach to the curriculum.
