"The Routledge Handbook of Ethical Educational Leadership is the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of ethical educational leadership. This handbook of ethical educational leadership draws upon an array of literature from authors directly or indirectly associated with the Center for the Study of Leadership and Ethics (CSLE), which is a Program Center affiliated with the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA). As a result of the internationalization of this particular Program Center in recent years, it is to become the UCEA Consortium for the Study of Leadership and Ethics in Education (CSLEE). Together this literature provides teachers, scholars and students with a coherent and broad-ranging insight into the current thinking and research associated with ethical educational leadership. Through detailed descriptions of contemporary theoretical precepts, qualitative and quantitative research, and extensive practical applications, readers of this handbook are provided with an extensive array of knowledge and understanding in this increasingly important field. Key topics covered in this handbook include: - Professionalism - Educational purpose - Social justice - Multiculturalism - Socio-political awareness - Sustainability - Empathy and caring - Organizational culture and ethics - Ethical leadership - Developing ethical leadership - Moral development - Ethical decision making - Moral motivation - Moral integrity - Values"-- Provided by publisher.
