  In Roundtable Session: 21.061-1 - Ethical and Political Implications on Teacher Experience

Abstract

The study reported examined the nature of ethical drift in leadership practice and how ethical dilemma cases in leadership preparation advance moral literacy in educational leaders. A two-tier case study design was used. Tier one examined ethical drift, moral literacy, and ethical dilemma perspectives in relation to fostering moral literacy in leadership. Tier two examined the implications of participants’ experience in self-examining ethical drift and self-authoring ethical dilemma cases as a pedagogical strategy.
