ABSTRACT
The just community approach aims to promote moral development and moral responsibility through the organization, practices, and culture of the school itself. The just community approach to schools emerged in 1974 with the opening of the Cluster School, a small school-within-aschool located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Out of this experiment and others that followed, Kohlberg, co-authors, Oser, Lind, and other colleagues, as well as the teachers and students within the different just community programs themselves developed the just community approach to moral education as we have it today.
