Abstract
Preparing children for their moral re sponsibilities as adults is a crucial part of the education process. Teachers play an important role in fostering moral maturity in students, and, according to Ryan, teacher educators have an obliga tion to help preservice teachers under stand how to create a "moral curricu lum" in the classroom. He argues that the content of teacher education must consist of more than academic content and pedagogical skills. Preservice teach ers must also appreciate their role in communicating to students the larger values of a community and of a society.
