Values and Ethics in Educational Administration
(2020)
Abstract
Catholic colleges and universities educate thousands of teachers and school administrators every year to be at the forefront of teaching and leading. The mission and vision of Catholic colleges and universities is unique in higher education while sending their graduates forth into every sector of the wider world. We explore the contribution of the Catholic intellectual tradition (CIT) for colleges of education at Catholic colleges and universities. In this particular piece, we mine the tradition’s emphasis on contemplation to cultivate and inform a practice of reflection for aspiring educators.
