This article broadly introduces the just community approach to moral education and sets in the contexts of both Lawrence Kohlberg's moral theory and research on individual moral judgement development and the three approaches of moral education. Kohlberg's moral educational program was the introduction of hypothetical moral dilemmas into classroom discussion with the goal of enhancing student moral reasoning. Kohlberg's concern with education for justice and community led to the development of the just community approach. Just community interventions have spread among several high schools and prison systems.
