Ethics and Values in Schools

I wish to propose three avenues of investigation relevant to a concern about ethics and values in schools. These three avenues take us all the way from, on the one hand, important though seemingly remote issues related to varying conceptions of goodness, right and justice to, on the other hand, highly practical and applied concerns with curriculum adaptation. To deal with issues at one end of this spectrum to the exclusion of those at the other is to risk, at one end, an overly theoretical and impractical consideration and, at the other end, unreflective practical action. The three avenues of investigation I name as, first, Different Ethical Positions, second, Professional Ethics for Teachers, and, third, Ethics in the Curriculum: A Case Study.
