| Abstract: | Administrators in any field are often called upon to make decisions involving ethical considerations, but are not always well prepared or prone to do so. This situation of being faced with ethical concerns is perhaps more true for educational administrators than for leaders in other arenas. Not only are administrators at school, since they deal essentially with people rather than a product, under this type of pressure on a constant basis, but they may also be looked upon to guide and advise teachers, students, and parents regarding ethical issues as well. Many leaders in education, such as Berkowitz and Oser (1985), Bloom (1987), and Sergiovanni (1992), have called on educational administrators to study and apply ethical systems to the school setting. While these arguments are often of a philosophical nature, Rebore (2001) strongly encouraged educational leaders to develop an understanding of different ethical systems for more practical reasons, noting that the primary standards for the licensing of school leaders by the "Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards for School Leaders" calls for administrators to promote "the success of the students by acting with integrity, fairness, and in an ethical manner." Their arguments strongly suggest that educational administrators can be taught to use a variety of ethical decision making models in a variety of different circumstances, as well as encourage and guide teachers, students, and parents in the process of ethical decision making. This article examines the Keirsey temperament model to see what this approach might have to offer educational administrators in terms of developing ethical decision making procedures for their particular school community. |
