{"product_id":"ethical-leadership-robert-j-starratt-9780787965648","title":"Ethical Leadership","description":"In \u003ci\u003eEthical Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 requires a moral commitment to high quality learning for all students--a commitment based on three essential virtues: proactive \u003ci\u003eresponsibility\u003c\/i\u003e; personal and professional \u003ci\u003eauthenticity\u003c\/i\u003e; and an affirming, critical, and enabling \u003ci\u003epresence\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003eThis book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education--a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas and insights about leadership in schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert J.
