20th Annual CSLEE Values and Leadership Conference

The 2015 Values and Leadership Conference will consider moral literacy and ethical leadership through a variety of subthemes including:

• From policy to classrooms: diverse manifestations of ethics and ethical leadership in education
• Developing moral leaders: models of ethical development and ethical leadership
• Intersections of ethical leadership and moral literacy
• Ethical leadership, education, and social justice
• The future of ethical leadership: pressing concerns and new possibilities
• Education, ethics, and multiple literacies, including the intersection of ecological and moral literacy
• The juxtaposition of local and global perspectives on education, ethics, and leadership

Keynote presentations and research papers will address issues in ethical leadership, ethics, and education from a variety of perspectives, across local and global contexts, and through consideration of multiple literacies. Unique to this conference is a focus on ethics and social justice in education, as well as discussion of ethical development and ethical leadership in diverse educational realms (from educational policy and administration to pedagogy and classroom practices).

A key feature of this conference includes making connections among people and ideas. Presentations and featured events are intended to mirror the conference themes and provide a collegial space for discussion and collaboration. We continue the tradition of past CSLEE Values and Leadership Conferences in which established and emerging scholars engage in conversation with a richly diverse group of speakers to foster authentic networking and partnership.
