Choice Review

Goodlad, Soder, and Sirotnik (University of Washington) artfully piece together important essays in educational policy and philosophy. They consider ethical questions as issues that are central for the education profession in modern liberal society. The book deals in detail with such issues as teacher professionalization, moral responsibility of public schools, accountability, and ethical codes of practice. This well-written, cogently presented volume includes papers by such insightful analysts as Barry L. Bull (University of Minnesota), Christopher M. Clark (Michigan State University), Walter Feinberg (University of Illinois, Urbana), Gary D. Fenstermacher (University of Arizona), Hugh Sockett (George Mason University), Kenneth A. Strike (Cornell University), and Bruce R. Thomas (Illinois Institute for Social Policy). A major contribution to renewal of civic and professional dialogue on efforts to articulate the unique status of education in the context of moral and societal dilemmas, this book is must reading for teachers, administrators, and professors in schools and departments of education across the nation. -J. L. DeVitis, SUNY at Binghamton
