The author argues for much greater attention to ethical education
and responds to sceptics who say that it can't be done in the face
of a pluralistic secular society badly fragmented over values.
Seeking always for themes and issues that unite rather than divide,
the author provides a conceptual foundation for ethical education
broad enough for building consensus among teachers and parents, yet
focused enough to provide guidance for highly specific learning
activities. The second half of the book takes the reader through a
carefully devised series of steps by which a school community might
proceed in building their ethical school. The final chapter reminds
of the many difficulties to be met along the way, but offers
encouragement to strengthen the resolve of the school community.
The book concludes with two helpful appendices: the first provides
detailed information on exiting initiatives already underway in
ethical education, the second offers an annotated bibliography of
books and essays which are available for those educators who need
or want to read more on the topic of ethical education.
