“We know what schools of integrity look like. We know how to build them. It's time for school leaders to get out in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade.” That’s the conclusion of coauthors Patrick Bassett, Paul Houston, and Rushworth Kidder in “Building Character in Crisis,” published in the July 15, 2009 edition of Education Week.
The Institute for Global Ethics spoke with six secondary school leaders to learn how ethics and values contribute to leadership effectiveness. Those leaders offered five key recommendations.
The Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) announced today that the Fourth Annual Ethical Literacy® Conference (June 23 – 25, 2010) is to be hosted by the St. George’s Independent School (SGIS) at its Collierville, Tennessee campus.
The Institute for Global Ethics is holding a trainer workshop for teachers next week in their Rockland facility. Teachers from schools as far apart as Maine and Georgia will attend this three day event.
A valuable tool for parents.
Ethical Literacy® ApproachThis conceptual framework is aimed at individual skill building. Our recent Schools of Integrity research project complements this focus by examining best practices in schools that effectively balance attention to academic rigor and to students’ ethical development. Ethical Literacy blends this focus on individual ethics and on best practices across the school culture, toward systemic alignment around ethics.
Public and Private secondary schools, community colleges, and university departments—athletic, student life, business, and so on.
There are three broad phases to an Ethical Literacy initiative at any school. First, the school must establish its readiness to participate in the work. Second, the school must develop capacity to get the work done. Third, the school must carry out the work in a thoughtful, coordinated manner.
