Synopsis

The Ethics of School Administration has been expanded to include important philosophical issues that have emerged in the last decade.

The new Second Edition features:

• a totally new chapter that addresses diversity--emphasizing both religious and cultural differences
• new cases that discuss such current issues as sexual harassment and child abuse

This book, once again, provides school administrators with a rigorous yet practical approach to the difficult dilemmas that so often arise in their profession. The authors, using case studies to illustrate particular ethical issues, cover such topics as:

standards

assessment and evaluation

equal opportunity

multiculturalism

religious differences

due process

freedom of expression

personal liberty

and authority.

The Ethics of School Administration, Second Edition is one of a set of books in the Teachers College Press series, Professional Ethics in Education. All of the books in this series will help educators and administrators to examine and reflect on the ethical dilemmas and controversies that are a normal and routine part of educational practice.

Praise for the First Edition!

"This text has much to recommend (it) to educators in general and school administrators in particular….encourages inquiring educators to explore the complexity of their decisions, thus improving the likelihood that decisions will be more ethical."

NASSP Bulletin

"Just like ethical practices, this book isn't easy, but it's good for you―and education."

The Executive Educator

"The text can be used both for courses in educational administration and by practicing administrators."
