| Summary: | "Most of us agree that moral issues matter, but how do they fit into the context of our schools? Since A Nation at Risk, most educators and policymakers have focused on the academic dimensions of schooling governed by standards and testing.

The authors look at their efforts, using an analytic framework that distinguishes five possible ways that the moral and the academic can be related in schooling."--Jacket. |
