Ethics & moral philosophy; Organisation & management of education; Schools

Conflicts often arise between regulations, making it difficult for school management teams and teachers to resolve situation with appropriate dignity and respect to all concerned. This book discusses actual case studies to help teachers to reflect on their own ethics, guiding them to make more reasonable decisions in their schools, and thereby gradually transforming schools into more cohesive and caring communities. A model of consequences, consistency and caring, each aspect based on traditional ethical theories provides a scientific base, a rational base and a responsive base for ethical decision-making. The book covers such everyday problems as censorship, school uniform, punishment, personal gain and confidentiality, and argues that care and respect for others, equity, rational autonomy and concern for long-term benefits are more important for a school community than short-term power and control.
