Description:
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. 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

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 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
pressured?and often punished?by state mandated
tests Starratt concludes by offering practical suggestions
for working leaders as well as preservice and inservice courses in
educational leadership.
