Most of us agree that moral issues matter, but how do they fit into the context of our schools? Since A Nation at Risk, most educators and policymakers have focused on the academic dimensions of schooling governed by standards and testing. This timely book explores the ways that committed K-12 educators have attempted to make the moral visible in American schooling over the past 25 years. The authors look at their efforts, using an analytic framework that distinguishes five possible ways that the moral and the academic can be related in schooling. Book Features: * A useful survey of moral education that enables the reader to arrive at personal judgments about the value and weaknesses of various approaches. * Case studies that illustrate the moral education of students, the moral component of teachers' work, and the moral dimensions of school structure. * A mixture of philosophical analysis and attention to school practice suitable for courses and accessible to teachers, administrators, policymakers, and parents.
