Ethics of Educational Leadership, The, 2nd edition

• Readers get the benefit of the experience of the author of one of the leading textbooks in human resource administration, Ronald Rebore, as he presents the writings of major philosophers and important ethical public documents. Future leaders are able to evaluate the philosophical approaches and use those experiences to develop their own approaches to educational leadership.
• The book features a practical perspective and organizes the content to address the requirements of ISLLC Standard Five.
• Students see theory in action through the book’s illustrative case studies.
• For help with licensure assessment, readers can turn to the Crosswalk to ISLLC Standard Five sections included in every chapter after Chapter 1 and see how different aspects of the standard are being addressed.
• Readers can assess their own ethical orientation with the instrument provided at the end of the book.

The Second Edition continues to present a foundations approach to educational ethics, with opportunities for practical application through case studies, exercises, discussion statements, and questions. All chapters have been revised and there are five new chapters: 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13, that deal with the legal aspect of ethics and how communication creates the milieu within which ethics is practiced.

• Students see how the theories of ethics affect practice through the Focus Scenarios that begin each chapter. They set the stage and preview the chapter material, showing how it is relevant for the practice of educational leadership.
• New sources of related information are available in the updated bibliographies at the end of each chapter.
• Readers explore the judicial system and how ethics impacts legality in the new Chapter 7 on ethical-legal issues in educational leadership.
• The relationship between ethics and human relations is clarified in the new Chapter 4 on the human relations dimension of ethics.
• Students see the importance of human communication in relation to ethical relationships in three new chapters—10, 11, and 12.
• Those who have used the previous edition will find the chapters easier to study and read thanks to the removal of the excerpts from the various philosophers. This allows readers to focus more clearly on the application of the material to the practice of educational leadership.
