This book takes a unique organizational approach towards understanding the concept of ethics in educational systems. It provides a global perspective and connects theory and praxis through team-based simulations, case studies and scenarios. It also allows researchers, educators and teachers, and educational leaders and administrators around the world to understand how they can develop an ethical culture in their schools. This understanding can encourage the development and assimilation of a code of ethics for teachers and educators and the creation of a policy of intervention that can help to minimize teachers' withdrawal behaviors. In this way, the author presents an integrative approach towards creating a positive learning environment for teachers and students.
In the midst of what seems an endless press for better academic outcomes and a flood of centrally-driven reforms, Shapira-Lishchinsky eloquently reminds us of the importance and value of organisations having clear codes of ethical practice. This is the most comprehensive and insightful book on ethics in education organisations that I have read in the last 10 years - it is smoothly written, strongly argued and carefully referenced. The inclusion of a wide range of practical strategies really sets the book apart. I strongly recommend it to academics, policy makers and school communities alike.
