Values for Educational Leadership
What are values? Where do our values come from? How do our values make a difference to education? For educational leaders to achieve distinction in their practice, it is vital to establish their own clear sense of values rather than reacting to the implicit values of others. This engaging book guides readers in thinking for themselves about the values they bring to their task and the values they intend to promote. Crucially, the book promotes critical thought and constructive analysis about the underlying values involved with: - aims and moral purpose in education - individual qualities in educational leadership - vision in education - school ethos and culture - the school as an educational community. By inviting reflection using valuable case studies and work-through activities, as well as referring to a wide range of academic literature, this book will be an important resource for those working towards professional qualifications such as NPQH, and invaluable for anyone aspiring to excellence in educational leadership.

John Wilson and the Place of Morality in Education
This paper asks whether it would be better not to talk about morality in schools. The issue is raised through a consideration of changes in public discourse and especially in educational discourse, where categories such as ''personal, social and health education'' and ''citizenship education'' are more salient than ''moral education''. Drawing on John Wilson's arguments, the paper considers claims for the indispensability of the concept of morality. It is argued that such claims, in Wilson's own writings, are applied to both an ''individual'' and a ''social'' conception of morality. Contrary to Wilson, the paper argues that the ''wisest strategy'' for public education is to take the social conception of ''morality in the narrow sense'' as a central focus.
Journal Article
Aims in Citizenship Education: Responsibility, Identity, Inclusion
In a plural and liberal society it should not be expected that there will be easy,
universal or once-for-all agreement on the aims of citizenship education. In such a
society - cross-cutting the categories in which issues of diversity and inclusion are
usually addressed (class, gender, ethnicity, religion, abilities/disabilities, sexuality,
age)- there is room for different understandings of what citizenship involves and
diverse conceptions of the good citizen. So when the aims of citizenship education
are discussed, there is always scope for different lists of aims, different
interpretations of items on those lists, and different priorities between items.
