This essay aims to illustrate how teachers from two different schools work to convey values in their professional roles, according to the basic values found in the Swedish curriculum Lgr11. This has been done through qualitative interviews with these schools’ teachers, individual at one school and in a group at the other. The results show that these teachers share roughly the same view on basic values, but that the methods employed by the teachers of either school differ. They also show that these two schools’ management prioritize this work differently. Conclusions that can be drawn from the results are that schools where this type of work is prioritized and where teachers work from the same point of view have greater success in conveying basic values.
