Democratic Ethical Educational Leadership presents a cohesive framework for aspiring and practicing leaders to explore the complex nature of leadership that can support democratic citizenry and social responsibility.
"This book is a powerful example of how a committed group of scholars can explore, advocate, and illustrate what democratic, ethical educational leadership means for students, teachers, leaders, and communities. I cannot imagine a more relevant and powerful response to our time; these editors and authors help us to 'reclaim educational reform by advocating democratic, ethical educational leadership.'"
--Gary M. Crow, Professor of Educational Leadership, Indiana University
"This book is for anyone who is concerned about the moral aims of education today.?With stories about inspired, ethical, democratic and courageous leaders, Gross and Shapiro remind us that doing the right thing as a leader is always a choice, regardless of circumstances or conditions. This book challenges readers to reassess what we may believe to be insurmountable obstacles to inclusive, ethical, caring, and socially just leadership practices in today's schools. Gross and Shapiro offer new hope to all leaders who struggle to do the right thing in education."
--Colleen L. Larson, Chair of the Department of Administration of Leadership and Technology and Associate Professor of Educational Administration, NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development
