Recenzii

"An important book that will surely become a prized text and be sought out again and again by school leaders who need to remind themselves why they entered the profession and what it takes to remain true to the premise that 'it's all about the children.'"
"Provides clear explanations and scenarios that reflect real-life choices, explains the necessary tools to give ethical advice in varied contexts, and examines the principles of cooperation."
"Strike joins the issues, those clashes between the legislative bodies to whom we are ever more accountable, to the high professional standards of excellence inherent in our mission to create good schools. His book gives leaders the charge and the framework they need to bring balance back to our schools."
"I highly recommend this book to school administrators, professors, policy makers and philosophers. the author offers a clear and compelling vision of the aims of education and skilfully describes the process and criteria for ethical leadership."

He is the author of a number of books and well more than a hundred articles. Recent books include The Ethics of Teaching, The Ethics of School Administration, Liberal Justice, and the Marxist Critique of Schooling, and Ethics and College Student Life. Papers of note include ¿Professionalism, Democracy, and Discursive Communities: Normative Reflections on Restructuring¿ in the American Education Research Journal, ¿The Moral Role of Schooling in a Liberal Democratic Society¿ in the Review of Research in Education, ¿The Moral Responsibilities of Educators¿ in Handbook of Research on Teacher Education, ¿Can Schools Be Communities: The Tension Between Shared Values and Inclusion¿ in Educational Administration Quarterly, ¿Freedom of Conscience and Illiberal Socialization: The Congruence Argument¿ in the Journal of Philosophy of Education, ¿On the Construction of Public Speech: Pluralism and Public Reason¿ in Educational Theory, and ¿Centralized Goal Formation, Citizenship, and Educational Pluralism: Accountability in Liberal Democracies¿ in Educational Policy.
