Teacher-librarians as agents of academic integrity education in Australian schools

Abstract

School education provides a significant opportunity for students to develop ethics and integrity. By developing these moral and ethical values at a young age in schools, there is a possibility to enhance and empower public integrity and ethical citizenship. This article by Zakir Hossain, our guest author of the Reflections and Actions section for 2022, explores this this topic, the Australian school landscape and its contribution to this area and the role school libraries and teacher librarians play in academic integrity education and integrity literacy promotion.
