Educators and policy makers confront challenging questions of ethics, justice, and equity on a regular basis. Should teachers retain a struggling student if it means she will most certainly drop out? Should an assignment plan favor middle-class families if it means strengthening the school system for all? These everyday dilemmas are both utterly ordinary and immensely challenging, yet there are few opportunities and resources to help educators think through the ethical issues at stake. Drawing on research and methods developed in the Justice in Schools project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Dilemmas of Educational Ethics introduces a new interdisciplinary approach to achieving practical wisdom in education, one that honors the complexities inherent in educational decision making and encourages open discussion of the values and principles we should collectively be trying to realize in educational policy and practice. At the heart of the book are six richly described, realistic accounts of ethical dilemmas that have arisen in education in recent years, paired with responses written by noted philosophers, empirical researchers, policy makers, and practitioners, including Pedro Noguera, Howard Gardner, Mary Pattillo, Andres A. Alonso, Jamie Ahlberg, Toby N. Romer, and Michael J. Petrilli. The editors illustrate how readers can use and adapt these cases and commentaries in schools and other settings in order to reach a difficult decision, deepen their own understanding, or to build teams around shared values.

Ce livre raconte l'aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue avec des centaines d'enfants à travers le monde francophone, de Paris à Montréal, en passant par Molenbeek, Abidjan, Pézenas, Genève, Mouans-Sartoux, la Corse et la Guadeloupe. Pourquoi, en effet, attendre la classe de terminale pour aborder le questionnement des thèmes existentiels : l'amour, le respect, le bonheur, le sens de la vie, les émotions, etc.? Ces ateliers philosophiques montrent une étonnante capacité des enfants de 6 à 10 ans à penser. Au-delà des concepts, ils y apprennent les règles du débat d'idées et développent leur discernement et une réflexion personnelle. Parce que les enfants ont souvent du mal à se concentrer, je fais précéder les ateliers d'une courte méditation, ou pratique de l'attention, qui permet à chacun de retrouver sa réceptivité sensorielle et d'être présent dans l'instant. Cet ouvrage propose une méthode et des outils concrets, dont un CD de méditations guidées, pour tous ceux qui, parents, enseignants, amis, souhaitent accompagner les enfants dans cette pratique de l'attention et des ateliers philosophiques.
