Nir  \nABSTRACT  \nThis manuscript focuses on ethics in educational policy planning. Specifically, it raises the question of how policy plan analysis may indicate for planners’ ethics in considering that educational planners operate in an environment characterized by a variety of contradicting interests making compromises essential. The manuscript, which offers criteria that may be employed to assess and classify compromises, argues that different types of compromises may serve as proxies for planners’ ethics. However, although the evaluation of compromises may produce valuable information, it is important to acknowledge that plans do not reflect the unique circumstances which existed while planning processes were performed. In this sense, an external assessment of planners' ethical conduct is limited. Therefore, it is concluded that much depends on planners’ ethical and professional judgment and ability to maintain a conscientious balance between various considerations and expectations so that the compromises made will be less likely to produce paradoxical plans limiting educational development and progression.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nProfessional ethics and ethical behaviors have become topics of renewed interest over the last decade following research stressing their effect on the behavior and performance of professionals (Elango, Paul, Kundu & Paudel, 2010; GopalaKrishnan, Mangaliso & Butterfield, 2008; Higgs-Kleyn & Kapelianis, 1999; O`Fallon & Butterfield, 2005; Trevino, Weaver & Reynolds, 2006) .  \nIn light of their complex knowledge and highly technical skills, professionals represent an authoritative symbol of social responsibility (Raelin, 1991), making their morality an imperative (Higgs-Kleyn & Kapelianis, 1999) . Therefore, when lapses in ethical behavior occur, the credibility of the entire profession is endangered (Kerr & Smith, 1995) .  \nAlthough ethical conduct is considered highly significant for individuals and organizations (Hill & Rapp, 2014), one can find a wide array of conceptualizations attempting to tackle this illusive concept. In general, professional ethics is a set of agreed expectations, setting the boundaries for professional conduct and a desirable course of action in a particular profession or organization. When these expectations are formalized, they become codes of behavior which all professionals sharing a particular occupation are expected to follow. Ethical codes are conventions enabling professionals as well as the entire society to differentiate among wrongs and rights when referring to professional conduct and to attribute accountability and responsibility to individuals. Moreover, ethical codes help managers to avoid hazards associated with immoral actions (Rosthorn, 2000) and to set guidelines that may be used to reward employees (Garcia-Marza, 2005) .  \nThe following paper focuses on educational planners' ethics. Assessing planners' ethics creates a unique challenge since the educational realm lacks agreed-upon criteria and expectations which set clear boundaries for planners' professional conduct and for assessing their ethical conduct. Rather, educational planners operate in a highly complicated context, involving a variety of contradicting interests and values. Such circumstances often require compromise, blurring ethical considerations even more. In addition, assessing educational planners' ethics by analyzing educational plans is a difficult task since educational plans do not tell the entire story nor do they reflect the circumstances which lead educational planners to articulate a particular policy plan.  \nHence, assessing educational planners' ethical conduct requires the articulation of an analytic perspective, enabling analysis of the quality of compromises characterizing a particular plan. This is the main goal and focus of this manuscript.  \nETHICS IN PLANNING  \nA wide array of criteria associated with the ethical conduct o","cbCaiknnEt1Pv6eh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiknnEt1Pv6eh","pdf",403538,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Ethics in Planning","[{\"question\":\"What central question does the manuscript raise about educational policy planning?\",\"answer\":\"It asks how policy plan analysis may indicate planners’ ethics in environments marked by contradicting interests where compromises are essential.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the manuscript propose evaluating ethical conduct in planning?\",\"answer\":\"It articulates an analytic perspective that assesses the quality of compromises characterizing a specific plan, using criteria to assess and classify compromise types.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are external assessments of planners’ ethics considered limited?\",\"answer\":\"Because evaluating compromises from plans does not reflect the unique circumstances that existed while planning processes were performed.\"}]","Educational Planning - The Ethics of Compromise | PDF",1792095004,33]
