Teaching ethics in schools

 A New Approach to Moral Education

‎

Philip Cam

The collaborative moral inquiry approach to moral education is highly flexible, can be employed from the early years, and can also be embedded in many school subjects. This means it provides a platform upon which to build a systematic approach to moral education—one in which students' moral knowledge and understanding can be developed over time, and in which the moral aspects of their subjects receive regular attention. Why this book? Teaching Ethics in Schools shows how an ethical framework can be a natural fit with modern pedagogical trends. It demonstrates how a model based on morality influences habits of mind, provides a basis for encouraging students to think for themselves and develop good moral judgment, and promotes social values ​​and beneficial outcomes both inside and outside the classroom.
