From lesson-planning to instructional practice to classroom management, teachers must make choices constantly and consistently. Somtimes these decisions are easy, but there are some decisions that are very difficult. Such delicate decisions often arise in the world of education and may be detrimental to one's career. Thoughtful decision-making should be part of every educator's daily experience. In Tough Choices for Teachers: Ethical Challenges in Today's Schools and Classrooms, Infantino and Wilke help student teachers, new teachers, and experienced teachers think more deeply about ethical concerns. The case studies included by the authors involve ethical dilemmas dealing with honesty, integrity, and proper professional behavior. Thinking through these scenarios based in actual situations, educators are trained in ethical decision-making processes and necessary skils for dealing with problems that arise in K–12 schooling.

I recommend Tough Choices for Teachers to anyone considering teaching as a profession; it will be an invaluable resource. The authors have carefully crafted each chapter based on research and their own experiences with ethical issues, and as a result, the reader is presented with realistic, complex case studies. Each chapter concludes with key questions that guide the reader through a process to determine possible solutions to the scenarios. Tough Choices for Teachers prepares educators to meet the challenge of important ethical situations that arise in public schools on a daily basis.
