Building an Ethical School - A Practical Response to the Moral Crisis in Schools

Informationen zum Autor Robert J. Starratt Klappentext The author argues for much greater attention to ethical education and responds to sceptics who say that it can't be done in the face of a pluralistic secular society badly fragmented over values. Seeking always for themes and issues that unite rather than divide, the author provides a conceptual foundation for ethical education broad enough for building consensus among teachers and parents, yet focused enough to provide guidance for highly specific learning activities. The second half of the book takes the reader through a carefully devised series of steps by which a school community might proceed in building their ethical school. The final chapter reminds of the many difficulties to be met along the way, but offers encouragement to strengthen the resolve of the school community. The book concludes with two helpful appendices: the first provides detailed information on exiting initiatives already underway in ethical education, the second offers an annotated bibliography of books and essays which are available for those educators who need or want to read more on the topic of ethical education. Zusammenfassung Provides many practical ways to integrate ethical learning within existing curricula and support structures of the school. The book also offers practical strategies for parental involvement and provides a step-by-step planning and implementation process.
