How do you create an ethical climate in your school? What’s the best way to develop ethical leadership skills in all students, from the youngest children in primary school to the oldest students in high school? The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School has created a practice and process for ethical decision making that can transform your entire school community!

Utilizing a values-based approach to ethical dilemmas and ethical issues, students learn how to THINK broadly and deeply about issues that are relevant in the classroom, the playground, the advisory group, each subject-area discipline, and their world. Most importantly, they utilize a practice of ethical decision making based on the values that they discover are unique to their authentic selves.

In this edWebinar, viewers meet and listen to the experiences of three Kent Place School students who represent the Primary, Middle, and Upper Schools as they share the ways that ethics has shaped their thinking and influenced the decisions that they make in every aspect of their lives. Moderated by the founding director of The Ethics Institute at Kent Place School, students give concrete examples of practicing ethical decision making and answer questions about how ethics has impacted their thinking. All viewers are sure to leave this session with concrete ways to bring ethics into their classrooms and to help create an ethical climate in their schools.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.
