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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarratt explains that educational leadership requires a moral commitment to high-quality learning for all students—a commitment based on three essential virtues: proactive responsibility; personal and professional authenticity; and an affirming, critical, and enabling presence to the workers and the work involved in teaching and learning. He clarifies how these virtues are essential for leadership in the pressure-cooker of high-stakes schooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe provides vivid illustrations 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47995411955948,"sku":"9780787965648","price":58.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780787965648-ethical-leadership.jpg?v=1784895648"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/robert-j-starratt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
