Overview
What are the fundamental aims and values underlying education? What values should education try to promote in a world of value pluralism? What is morality, and should schools teach it? In a secular society, how should schools treat the links between morality and religion? How should values enter into professional education and educational leadership? This book, an updated edition of Teaching about Values, will help the reader to think about these questions and many others concerning values in education. Drawing on philosophy without assuming knowledge of the subject, it is for teachers, students of education and anyone who recognises the importance of values in education.

Reviews
Haydon offers a majestic balancing act of a book, holding the tension between panoramic views of the philosophical domain and detailed consideration of the particular. If you are interested in values and young people (and one of Haydon's points is that you are interested in the latter then you ought to be interested in the former) this book is a must...The book offers a sophisticated and much need consideration of timeless issues in working with young people. I recommend it.
