The study Questionnaire de Valeurs en Éducation (Perron, 1981a) was administered to 88 teachers in Greater Montreal working in alternative public schools and regular public schools at both elementary and secondary levels. The results show that alternative school teachers place greater emphasis on participation and student freedom (i.e., self-esteem, freedom for students to self- direct their learning), while those in regular schools place greater value on maintaining consistency and predictability in their teaching (i.e., classroom structure, tasks organization, etc.). The results show that high school teachers placed more value on security aspects such as classroom structure, tasks organization, etc. than primary teachers. Despite the 1997 educational reform that has made alternative and regular schools more similar by promoting the values associated with the alternative model, this study finds that teachers working in different settings do not have the same values. The implications for students is discussed. Keywords: values, teachers, alternative school, regular schools, education ER -
