Ethical dilemmas are regular events in teachers' professional lives. Every professional in a school setting confronts those moments of choice when the right thing to do is often the hard thing to do. Teachers and teacher leaders both need guidance as they ponder if, when, and how to bring these issues to the entire faculty and administration because they might have implications for the entire school.

This professional development resource is designed to raise educators' awareness concerning ethical issues and to serve as a source for teachers and teacher leaders when they are confronted with the thorny issues that constantly arise in schools. Sarah V. Mackenzie and G. Calvin Mackenzie have developed a series of richly detailed cases for analysis and discussion, focusing on the professional relationships teachers have with students, colleagues, supervisors, parents, taxpayers, and other stakeholders.

Guided by the belief that teachers have an important role to play as moral exemplars and inspirations, the authors provide ample advice on how conscious contemplation of the ethical implications of their work, especially with other adults in the school, helps educators: Ensure equality of opportunity for all students Balance the attention given to the well-being of students with standardized accountability measures Maintain quality learning environments for all children
