Ethical Leadership (Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education)

In Ethical Leadership, Robert Starrattâ€”one of the leading thinkers on the topic of ethics and educationâ€”shows educational leaders how to move beyond mere technical efficiency in the delivery and performance of learning. He challenges educators to become ethical leaders who understand the learning process as a profoundly moral activity that engages the full humanity of the school community. Starratt explains that educational leadership requires a moral commitment to high quality learning for all studentsâ€”a commitment based on three essential virtues: proactive responsibility; personal and professional authenticity; and an affirming, critical, and enabling presence to the workers and the work involved in teaching and learning. He clarifies how essential these virtues are for leadership in the pressure-cooker of high-stakes schooling.Â He provides vivid illustration by beginning and ending the book with a "morality play," the narrative of a principal who struggles to do the right thing for his students and teachers, as they are pressuredâ€”and often punishedâ€”by state mandated tests.Â Starratt concludes by offering practical suggestions for working leaders as well as preservice and inservice courses in educational leadership.
This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Educationâ€”a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.
