Abstract
Ethics, Equity, and Justice is a required course in the Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Educational Leadership program at George Fox University; an Oregon Independent University affiliated with the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The course approaches the study of ethics by examining ethical models, applying them to the dilemmas of leadership. The primary text for the course presented four ethical models. These models are the ethics of the profession, the ethic of care, the ethic of justice, and the ethic of critique (Shapiro & Gross, 2013). Particular emphasis in the course is an investigation of equity, and justice for marginalized students. Students in the Ed.D. program are educational practitioners, teachers, and leaders in PK-12 and higher education organizations. Five of the students who participated in the course joined with the course instructor to form a collaborative writing group, to continue the learning process that occurred in the course. In addition to the authors of this paper, two students who participated in the course, Angel Krause and Alicia Watkin, helped to collect data for this paper. Three of the student participants, Danielle Bryant, an adjunct professor at Corban University, Charity-Mika Woodard, an art professor at Pittsburg State University, and Sherri Sinicki, a high school teacher and instructional coach at Dayton (Oregon) High School collected and analyzed data and co-authored this paper. Scot Headley, who had recently returned to a faculty role at GFU after a 4.5 year tenure as the Dean of the College of Education; taught the Ethics, Equity, and Justice course described herein and co-authored this paper.
