‘This is a highly readable and engaging book that explores the ethical issues and dilemmas that teachers and school leaders face on a daily basis at school. In straightforward language and a crisp and flowing style this profoundly insightful book explores a series of contemporary issues that will provide a useful resource in any teacher education course and/or school-based professional development workshop.’Dr Christopher Bezzina, University of Malta and Uppsala University, Sweden‘This text is a welcome addition to the literature on ethics, specifically for those in leadership or aspiring to leadership in the school context. Written in an engaging style by an author with extensive experience of both research and practice, the book brings together up-to-the-minute insights from that experience and roots them in the work in schools. It is essential reading for everyone involved in teaching and learning in the ever-changing complex world of education. The reader is guided to reflect on their own practice and by so doing is led on a journey of ethical discovery.’Peter Neil, Vice-Chancellor, Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UK
