Educational Adminstration

This paper integrates the thesis under construction “The citizen of the world and the ethical organization of the school” from a comparative study between Brazil and Portugal in the conjecture that interrelationships and social contexts are responsible for the development of human capacities. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate a multicultural and autonomous Brazilian project as a teaching practice that fights against discrimination and includes stakeholders in the process of learning, access, and school permanence.
In this project, the school principal in Brazil responsible for leading the curriculum supports, finances, and enables its implementation and dissemination to the entire educational community. The Young on the Scene project developed at the Professor Antonio José Leite State School - São Paulo - Brazil reveals itself as a case study as an
innovative, multicultural, cosmopolitan, and inclusive practice. The project formed a theater group that features rereading of classics and original scenic works. The students with the teachers create the script, scenario, and costume. Everyone is involved: parents, students, the wider community, as well as businesses and artists. The methodology developed by the researcher is explanatory of a qualitative nature and had direct observation, critical analysis of the narratives of the subjects participating in the research, interviews and public statements by the creators, participants, and artists. This data is compared to the Young on the Scene project’s cultural publications documents that are widely circulated in Brazil and other countries, including a wide range of video recordings made publicly available on the Internet via YouTube.
It is concluded in a qualitative hermeneutic that the realization of this cultural-social-educational project corroborates with a new look at the students as citizens who are build human sensibilities. The Young on the Scene project privileges the interactions between different cultures and social classes with evident advances in learning. Students are motivated and values development of tolerance and respect for multiple identities. It unites the project, school, and community in interdisciplinarity of the Arts and the Portuguese Language, thus becoming an effective inclusive device of pedagogical-social differentiation.

Abstract
Ethics is an important part of administrative behavior for a head schoolteacher. A school often proceeds in the path of success if it is led by an ethically sound leader. However, professional ethics are largely thought to emerge from the conscience of the administrator. This article is based on a study undertaken with the purpose of identifying how the ethics of educational administrators are practiced in public secondary schools in Nepal. The study was carried out using a humanistic paradigm with a series of in-depth interviews and focus group discussion through a phenomenological approach.

The study found that professional codes of conduct for school administrators need to be well defined, well internalized, and focused on the culture and context in question. One way to do this is to require representatives of all of the school’s stakeholders to discuss and develop the professional codes of school administrators. This sensitive and participatory approach in the development and adoption of the ethical rules generates a “feeling of ownership,” responsibility, and commitment among all school stakeholders. However, at present, there are no such provisions to understand social interaction in particular social settings to ensure participation of all the stakeholders in the formation of ethical codes of educational administrators
