Leadership, sustainability and ethics

Bottery, Michael

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with what educational leaders can lear about the ethics of their practice from a study of environmental systems. It examiners three sources for such learning. One source is from an understanding of the epistemology of these two systems, particular from a gerater understanding of the complexity of actions., as well as a necesarily greater provisionality of judgments than is normally recognised. A second source of ethical learning stems fromexamining when these two systems get into trouble, for both education and the environment suffer from a numbr of similar kinds of stressors, and similar kinds of crisis points. A final source of ethical learning derives from the fact that both systems appear to benefit from simmilar prescriptions for remediation and greater sustainability.
