Value-Based Learning is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic attainment and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives. The positive learning environment is achieved through the positive values modeled by staff throughout the school. It quickly liberates teachers and students from the stress of confrontational relationships, which frees up substantial teaching and learning time. It also provides the social capacity to students, equipping them with social and relationship skills, intelligence and attitudes to succeed in school and throughout their lives.
