A teacher for the 21st Century must be equipped with a sophisticated range of skills and capabilities, but it must go beyond knowledge, understanding and skills, to include effective dispositions, strong student/teacher relationships, communicative capacity, empathic character and self-awareness. Teacher quality encompasses many aspects, including skills, knowledge, attitudes, dispositions and values. This paper reports on a qualitative case study conducted with pre-service teachers in a Faculty of Education in an Australian university. One of the findings of the study points to the benefits of pre-service teachers engaging in an explicit values-based pedagogy. Through their engagement with such pedagogy, in this case Philosophy in the Classroom, the participants became more aware of the values dimension of quality teaching. If teachers are better prepared in the values dimension of teaching, this will make them more holistic quality teachers which will in turn positively impact upon student achievement and well-being.  \nKeywords: philosophy in the classroom; pre-service teacher education; Quality teaching; values education  \nIntroduction  \nThe latter part of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century has seen a new learning paradigm emerge where research and practice into quality teaching, values education, and authentic pedagogy are united by the belief that learning is holistic (Lovat, Toomey, Clement, Crotty, & Nielsen, 2009) . This has resulted in a resurgence of educational literature surrounding quality teaching, with a \"call for appropriate professional development to advance the quality of teaching in order to improve student achievement\"(Clement, 2007, p. 22) . Despite this plea though, little in-depth attention has been given to the development of quality teaching dimensions in pre-service teacher education. Whilst research exists to prove that there is a positive link between quality teaching and values education (see for example Lovat, 2007; Lovat & Toomey, 2007b, 2007c; Lovat et al., 2009), this has not been investigated in any depth with regard to pre-service teacher education. It is hoped that the findings of this research may go some way in assisting the transparency of the relationship between values and quality teaching.  \nQuality Teaching  \n􀀍 Lecturer, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.2-4-2](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.2-4-2) doi=10.30958/aje.2-4-2  \nA good teacher makes a difference, with it being argued that \" there is no more important empirical determinant of student outcomes than good teaching\"(Barber & Mourshed, 2009, p. 27) . Teacher excellence is an elusive concept and various definitions abound. Generally, much of the educational research literature surrounding the defining of „expert‟ or „quality‟ teachers has tended to focus on \"technical, observable aspects of teaching\" (Collinson, 1999) . I would argue though that effective teachers are people who are competent across an array of domains including behaviour, cognition, content, character as well as knowledge of and sensitivity to cultural, social, political contexts and environments.  \nProductive Pedagogy Model of Quality Teaching  \nThe Queensland School Reform Longitudinal Study (QSRLS) (The University of Queensland, 2001) produced a model of Productive Pedagogies (PP) to describe quality teaching. This model uses four dimensions: intellectual quality; connectedness; supportive classroom environment; and recognition of difference.  \nIntellectual Quality. The first of the PP dimensions is intellectual quality and it may be described in a variety of ways through a variety of criteria.  \nTable 1.
