Addressing Ethics in Education
• Ethical decision making is at the heart of
effective teaching practice
• Teachers make hundreds of ethical decisions
per day – the majority of which are grey
• Critical need for tools to help teachers make
ethical decisions before the damage is done
• We’ve been working closely with the GaPSC on
a product that can be leveraged across the
nation.
