What's important in values-based education?

What is it about?

The reaearchers evaluated a school network that transitioned to a more values-based orientation over six years. We wanted to see what the most important factors in predicting the project's success would be. We found that student-teacher dialogue and close relationships between the school and the community were most important. Surprisingly, order and discipline did not contribute to success whatsoever.
