The booklet discusses the concept of moral education as both a complex and composite phenomenon and as an important aspect of the student's education in Catholic schools. The aim of the discussion reveals a universal expectation that the Catholic school will be and must be an instrument of moral education. Relying mostly upon Kohlberg's work in moral development, the book's five chapters consider the roles and qualities of the Catholic school teacher in fostering the moral growth of the student by way of integrative approaches. The educational practices and conditions which contribute to a supportive environment are examined and four suggestions for effective teaching strategies (role playing, puppets, creative writing, and individualized reading) are offered. The chapters include: "Moral Education as a Variety of Educational Approaches"; "Climate and Atmosphere of the Classroom"; "The Role of the Teacher"; "Teaching Strategies"; and "Formation of Conscience." Each chapter contains a summary and suggested readings. Two sections include resources and suggestions for using the booklet. Three appendixes are also included: resources for moral dilemmas; moral development/reasoning diagrams; and a dilemma problem. (TRS)
