Abstract:

Thanks to information technologies and globalization, rapid change and transformation in today's societies forces our educational approaches in religious and moral education to change. This change necessitates adopting new roles primarily for our  educational institutions and the employees of other institutions in addition to the employers  in particular. For this reason, the concept of “moral leadership” in schools that can take part  in alternative leadership approaches has begun to enter the agenda of educators more. In  Turkey, the concept of moral leadership in education and its applications, with its theory and  practices, have to be put on the agenda to bring a new breath to education management in  secondary and high schools, overcome individual and social problems and transform our  schools into attractive institutions. In this study, leadership and its types will be explained  briefly then moral and educational leadership will be explained. In addition, what will be the  contributions of those who work as administrators and teachers with moral leadership  activities to the students’ moral development and school climate will be discussed.
