Values education within the school context is, among other elements, shaped by a value-related school climate as well as teachers' value-related educational goals. This longitudinal study investigated the interplay between these two elements over fifteen months, starting in March 2021, and including four points of measurement (t1 - t4). The sample consisted of 118 primary school teachers (years 1 and 2) from primary schools in Switzerland. Teachers' value-related educational goals were measured with the "Portrait Values Questionnaire," and teachers' perception of their school climate was measured with the "12-Item School Climate Measure Scale." "Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Models" along with "Multiple Imputation" for missing data were used to investigate the reciprocal relationships along the four dimensions of value-related educational goals represented by Schwartz's "Higher-Order Value Types: Openness to Change, Conservation, Self-Enhancement, and Self-Transcendence" and their corresponding dimensions of a perceived value-related school climate of "Innovation, Stability, Performance, and Support." For the dimensions "Innovation and Openness to Change," the analyses revealed that the perceived value-related school climate of Innovation predicted teachers' value-related educational goals of "Openness to Change" significantly from t1 to t2, while an effect in the opposite direction from t2 to t3 and from t3 to t4 was found. For the dimension "Stability and Conservation," the analyses revealed that the perceived value-related school climate of "Stability" predicted teachers' value-related educational goals of "Conservation" from t3 to t4. These findings are discussed in light of the dynamic processes of values education within the school environment as well as in the context of environmental and societal developments.
