Betrayed No More: How Morally Centered Schools Reduce Educators' and Students' Distress
Wendy Dean; Rachel Schaffer
American Educator, v48 n4 p32-36 2024-2025
For too many educators, the idea of a morally centered school may seem like a fantasy--or be so novel a concept that it is hard to grasp. In this article, the authors describe such schools, which truly serve students' best interests by following a set of shared professional values, and how educators and their unions can help create them. The four scenarios of how things currently stand described in this article are drawn from interviews the authors conducted with 13 educators in five states. Although the individuals' names and some key details have changed, the fundamental truth of each educator's predicament remains clear.
