We have what I assume is a reputable faculty of education right here at
Nipissing University. I attended this self-same institution back in the
late eighties and we did, indeed, have a class in educational
philosophy. The only thing I can remember is the teacher reading from
Bill Cosby's book about fatherhood. With one or two exceptions, these
were the teachers of the teachers I didn't want teaching my children any
morality.
As to Kohlberg, is he still being taught in conjunction (or in
opposition to) Carol Gilligan (again going from memory...).

Most teachers were found to be in Kohlberg's fourth stage, which (without my checking) has to do with doing the right thing because "what will others think of me if I don't?" Not a pretty showing....

In graduate school I once took a course with Lawrence Kohlberg at Harvard on his stage theory of moral development -- and found myself electrified by the material and where I found myself at times in the different stages.
For example, I remember at the time highway speed limits were 55 mph. Applying Kohlberg's stage theory, one person goes 55 to avoid getting stopped by a cop (a lower level of development: avoiding punishment); another goes 55 because he gets better mileage than at 70 ( a little higher level of development); a third person goes 55 because its safer at 55 than at 70 for his passengers and the other cars on the road.
