Teachers’ Professional Ethics by Tirri and Kuusisto
Teachers’ Professional Ethics explores some of the psychological foundations of ethical teaching, focusing on three key dispositions: moral sensitivity, purpose, and growth mindset. While the book falls short of delivering a comprehensive framework for teacher ethics, it compellingly integrates moral and personality psychology to inform theory, research and practice in educational ethics. Drawing from the Finnish regulatory context, the book envi…
The Duty of Impartiality in Teaching and the Criteria of “Controversial Issues”
When do teachers need to deal with sociopolitical issues impartially and when are they justified in taking a stand? In the academic literature, attempts to answer this question have centered on the relative merits of four criteria of controversial issues : the epistemic criterion, the behavioral criterion, the politically authentic criterion, and the political criterion. In this paper, Bruce Maxwell first presents a critical survey that details t…
Between maintaining teacher impartiality and protecting student dignity

Developing Emotional Intelligence in Social and Emotional Learning
This chapter provides a critical overview of the evidence on the impact of social and emotional learning (SEL) programs on emotional intelligence (EI). The social and emotional learning movement and research on emotional intelligence are intimately linked. However, exuberance for social and emotional learning in educational circles has contributed to a situation in which program implementation and evaluation has gotten ahead of the impact of soci…
Adaptation and validation of a test of ethical sensitivity in teaching
This article documents the adaptation, piloting and validation of a measure of teachers’ ethical sensitivity. To create the test, we modified a measure from dentistry drawing on literature in teacher professional ethics and drew on the expertise of professional ethics scholars and practitioners. Based on the results of Rasch analysis combined with traditional approaches to psychometric validation, the instrument was found to be a valid and reliab…
Dealing with illiberal and discriminatory aspects of faith in religious education
Taking Quebec’s mandatory religious education curriculum, Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC), as a case study, this paper examines the question of whether it is legitimate to teach about the illiberal and discriminatory aspects of religious belief and practice—misogyny, homophobia, racial discrimination and the like—in a religious education class. This paper seeks an answer the question by considering the pedagogical choice to raise a critical le…
Impacts of the 2017 flash drought in the US Northern plains informed by satellite-based evapotranspiration and solar-induced fluorescence
Drought is increasing in frequency and severity, exacerbating food and water security risks in an era of continued global warming and human population growth. Here, we analyzed a severe summer drought affecting the US Northern Plains region in 2017. We examined the spatial pattern and seasonal progression of vegetation productivity and water use in the region using satellite-based estimates of field-scale (30 m) cropland evapotranspiration (ET), …
Codes of ethics and teachers’ professional autonomy

After having underlined how a code of ethics stands to benefits a community of educators – namely, by providing a mechanism for regulating autonomy and promoting a shared professional ethic – the article examines the principal arguments against codes of ethics. Three arguments are presented and analyzed in light of the codes of teacher ethics in place elsewhe…

This article presents the results of an international survey on ethics content and curriculum in initial teacher education (ITE). Involving five Organi…

Empathy and social-emotional learning
This chapter identifies three common pitfalls in the use of the concept of empathy in formal social-emotional learning interventions: (1) not distinguishing between affective and cognitive empathy ("equivocation"); (2) overestimating the role of the imagination in empathizing ("Piaget's fallacy"); and (3) not accommodating the developmental and psychological independence of affective and cognitive empathizing ("the fallacy of the Golden Rule"). U…

Justifying educational acquaintance with the moral horrors of history on psycho-social grounds
This paper challenges a pervasive curricular justification for educationally acquainting young people with stories of genocide and other moral horrors from history. According to this justification, doing so favours the development of psycho-social soft skills connected with interpersonal awareness and the establishment and maintenance of positive relationships. It is argued that this justification not only renders the specific historical content …
Educating moral emotions
Teaching Right and Wrong
This article critically reviews Colin Wringe's Moral Education: Beyond the Teaching of Right and Wrong. The book has three broad aims. The first is to illustrate the philosophical deficiencies of the conceptualisation of moral education underlying two recently published UK government documents on values education. The second is to develop a pluralistic prescriptive account of mature moral judgement, putatively as a point of reference for the educ…

Irony in Moral Discourse
Cet article présente une critique de la position dite de I' «ironie morale», une position philosophique passablement répandue dans la culture intellectuelle contemporaine et dont la caractéristique centrale est de mettre en question de façon radicale le concept de vérité morale. En m'appuyant sur la lecture de Foucault proposée par Robert Réal Fillion, je dégage les présuppositions qui sont au cœur de la position en question. Je souligne ensuite …
