Between Apathy and Advocacy: Teaching and Modeling Ethical Reflection.
Hanson, Karen
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n66 p33-36 Sum 1996
The extent to which college teachers should disclose their own ethical and political views, or serve as advocates of them, is discussed. It is argued that the teacher who can convey the strengths of positions he opposes and weaknesses of those he embraces models critical reflection, encouraging and empowering critical thought in students.
