Ethical Educational Leadership in Turbulent Times

Educational leaders not only face moral and ethical decisions regarding their classrooms, schools, districts, and education institutions, but they also must consider the complexities and threats that impact their communities. In this unstable era of war, terrorism, natural disasters, accountability, and high stakes testing, this process is particularly daunting. Ethical Educational Leadership in Turbulent Times is an engaging, case-study based text that will assist leaders in their ethical decision-making processes during a time of turbulence and uncertainty. The book is framed by Gross’s Turbulence Theory and Shapiro and Stefkovich’s Multiple Ethical Paradigms of justice, critique, care, and the profession. Presenting clear explanations of theory in combination with authentic dilemmas developed by practitioners, this book will assist leaders in dealing with challenging situations in their own settings. New in the Second Edition: <ul>
<li>Expanded discussion of Turbulence Theory and addition of the most recent scholarship in the field of ethical leadership.</li> <li>New cases addressing adequate yearly progress, misuse of student data, financial pressures, curriculum design, student safety, athletics, and social justice issues.</li> <li>Updated end-of-case questions to reflect contemporary issues.</li> </ul>
Ethical Educational Leadership in Turbulent Times is a valuable book for both aspiring and practicing educational administrators and leaders.

This text is designed to assist educational leaders in the ethical decision-making process. Theoretically, it is based on Gross’s Turbulence Theory and Shapiro and Stefkovich’s Multiple Ethical Paradigms of justice, critique, care, and the profession. The authors clearly explain these concepts and demonstrate how they can work together to assist leaders in dealing with challenging situations. Authentic ethical dilemmas are provided to be analyzed using Turbulence Theory and the Multiple Ethical Paradigms and to engage readers in applying these concepts to practice. The text is intended for use in a range of educational leadership, educational administration, and teacher education programs that prepare both educational leaders (administrators) and lead teachers.

Today, school systems face the challenge of developing the next generation of school leaders. This means more than simply hiring promising new leaders―it requires developing an effective mentoring program. True leadership mentoring must be carefully crafted with highly educated mentors and prepared protégés. But what are the elements of a quality leadership-mentoring program? This book answers six fundamental questions that school systems interested in creating a leadership-mentoring program should consider: ·How might a district interested in leadership-mentoring organize their work? ·What background is available in current literature on leadership-mentoring? How might the literature serve as an effective basis for program development?·What theoretical framework can planners use to organize their program so that it will have unity and best respond to the hardest questions facing building leaders?·What example of leadership-mentoring, which uses this theoretical framework, can be studied so that we can understand the emerging model in a naturalistic setting?·What are the qualities of a fully-developed model for leadership-mentoring?·How might such a program be implemented and connected to larger district priorities? Leadership Mentoring also shows readers how to use new concepts such as Multiple Ethical Paradigms and Turbulence Theory to help new leaders respond to the ethical dilemmas that are a part of their new assignments. Chockful with answers to crucial questions about leadership-mentoring, school districts will finally be able to face the task of developing new leaders with greater confidence.
