Synopsis

This scholarly work addresses the complex issues of moral education as they arise in school settings. It grapples with the relationship between education and moral action as confronted by teachers, students, and administrators. The Moral Stake in Education encourages educators to understand the theoretical debates now raging and the philosophical positions on which they are based. It asks them to consider their own viewpoints as they relate to classroom situations and to their own teaching.
