Should an assignment plan favor middle-class families if it means strengthening the school system for all? These everyday dilemmas are both utterly ordinary and immensely challenging, yet there are few opportunities and resources to help educators think through the ethical issues at stake. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on research and methods developed in the Justice in Schools project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, \u003ci\u003e Dilemmas of Educational Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a new interdisciplinary approach to achieving practical wisdom in education, one that honors the complexities inherent in educational decision making and encourages open discussion of the values and principles we should collectively be trying to realize in educational policy and practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of the book are six richly described, realistic accounts of ethical dilemmas that have arisen in education in recent years, paired with responses written by noted philosophers, empirical researchers, policy makers, and practitioners, including Pedro Noguera, Howard Gardner, Mary Pattillo, Andres A. Alonso, Jamie Ahlberg, Toby N. Romer, and Michael J. Petrilli. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe editors illustrate how readers can use and adapt these cases and commentaries in schools and other settings in order to reach a difficult decision, deepen their own understanding, or to build teams around shared values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meira Levinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612509320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612509327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Education PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Meira Levinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042855809279,"sku":"9781612509327","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90b57ef8-a88c-40b5-a43a-13b4c427dea4.jpg?v=1684963925","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dilemmas-of-educational-ethics-meira-levinson-9781612509327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
