Abstract | The article proposes the idea of an "ethic of community" to extend the ethical frames typically used in education, arguing that this expansion of ethical frames is important for achieving the moral purposes of educational leadership in 21st century schools. It defines ethic of community as the "moral responsibility to engage in communal processes" as educators pursue the moral purposes of their work and address the ongoing challenges of daily life and work in schools. The ethic of community thus centers the "community" (as opposed to the individual) as the primary locus of moral agency in schools. In the following sections, the article: (1) argues that the ethical frames currently used in education focus primarily on the "individual" as ethical agent; (2) develops the concept of an ethic of community as a complement to these frames; (3) shows how the ethic of community is related to achieving the moral purposes of schooling in the 21st century, using the example of social justice; and (4) provides a conceptual framework that links ethics, leadership practice based in the ethic of community, and the moral purposes of school leadership.
