Starrat’s Multidimensional Ethic of Caring Implementation

Starrat’s multidimensional model advocates for social justice in school leadership by prioritizing equality among learners. Learning and teaching outcomes in schools determine the nature of leadership because they are shaped by leaders. Implementing Starrat’s multidimensional model entails key focus on upholding social justice and equality among marginalized groups of learners. School administrators are obliged to observe ethics of critique, justice and care in their decision-making by measuring how their different groups of learners from diverse backgrounds behave. In some instances, majority groups tend to be advantaged than minorities hence, the different ideas concerning their approaches to discipline (Cordeiro & Cunningham, 2013). The high rates of suspension and expulsion of African American students from schools raised a major concern among parents about the level of equality in the treatment of learners in their various institutions. The zero tolerance policy is likely to contribute to further school dropout rates if leaders fail to evaluate the causes and impacts of indiscipline among students from diverse social upbringing. Integrity, selflessness, accountability and objectivity are the primary ethics that shape effective school leadership whereby, learners’ well-being and success are the primary guidelines in the regular decision-making practices.
