Creating Moral Schools: The Enabling Potential of Critical Friends Groups
Law, Bruce
Educational Horizons, v84 n1 p53-57 Fall 2005
Critical Friends Groups (CFGs) are vehicles for creating collective intentionality that reaches a shared end: increased opportunity for the disadvantaged to create equality of opportunity. Not that participating in CFGs is the only action educators can take to create moral schools; rather, moral schools reflect the beliefs, ends, and practices that are the underpinnings of CFGs. In this article, the author illustrates how Critical Friends Groups can serve as vehicles for moral leaders to create moral schools.
