Teaching About Values: A New Approach

by Graham Haydon

An analysis of teachers' values and the values that teachers are supposed to foster in the classroom. Haydon (philosophy of education, U. of London) takes a generalist's perspective in the discussions, probing deeply into questions of values and morality, compromise and tolerance, secular and spiritual controversies in the schools, and the manner in which teachers (and administrators) can begin to teach common values in the class, as well as begin to value the teachers.
