Hess (Harvard Education Press, 2012); No Citizen Left Behind (Harvard University Press, 2012), and Dilemmas of Educational Ethics: Cases and Commentaries, coedited with Jacob Fay (Harvard Education Press, 2016). She is currently working to develop a field of educational ethics, modeled after bioethics, that is theoretically rigorous and policy- and practice-relevant.
