ETHICAL LEADERSHIP
In Ethical Leadership, Robert Starratt--one of the leading thinkers on the topic of ethics and education--shows educational leaders how to move beyond mere technical efficiency in the delivery and performance of learning.
Starratt explains that educational leadership requires a moral commitment to high quality learning for all students--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. He provides a vivid illustration in the story of a principal who struggles to do the right thing for his students and teachers, as they are pressured--and often punished--by state mandated tests. Starratt concludes by offering practical suggestions for aspiring and working leaders.
Ethical Leadership is part of the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education.
"Starratt's deeply felt book helps leaders explore their own humanity and humane responsibilities to others while working in contemporary school settings."
--ERIC BREDO, professor and coordinator, Social Foundations Program, Department of Leadership, Foundations and Policy, University of Virginia
"This book provides a brilliant fusion of the philosophical and the practical in analyzing the ethical and moral dimensions of educational leadership. The foundational ethics of authenticity, responsible and presence provides a new and very creative framework for the practice of moral leadership. A must read."
--PATRICK DUIGNAN, foundation chair in education leadership, director, Research Center in Educational Leadership, Australian Catholic University
