I would look at A. MacIntyre
Charles Taylor
Martha Nussbaum
These folks have all written important works on human ethics and values. Robert Cole wrote about values education specifically. John Dewey wrote about education for the purpose of citizenship and engagement for the common good.
Hope this is helpful,

For an introductory/undergraduate text I've used Vincent Ryan Ruggiero's Thinking Critically About Ethical Issues. I think it's in the 7th edition, which means it has had some staying power.
A Short History of Medical Ethics by Albert R Jonsen
Jonsen very good election

I am using also books of Michael J. Sandel (also good to combine it with Charles Taylor's) like The Case Against Perfection. It is relevant with the culture where I live. However, I am familiar also with more liberal poles like those books written by Peter Singer.
