A positive community connection is essential to improving school climate. A key starting point is identifying the shared ethical values that all adults can agree to model and to uphold. Often conducted during an afternoon or evening, this forum engages community members and educators around the importance of ethics education and leads participants to a set of values that everyone can endorse and use to guide future planning.

Target Audience:

Trustees and School Board Members, Superintendents, District Staff, Principals, Heads of Schools, Faculty, School Staff, Students, Parents, and Community Members.

Course Objectives

  • Identify a community’s shared ethical values.
  • Consider how to uphold these values in daily life
  • Investigate current ethical issues and needs in the context of your school, the nation and the world
