Curriculum
- Building Decision Skills
The Building Decision Skills curriculum focuses on the nature of ethics and ethical decision-making. It has been designed for use at the middle- and high-school levels. It is based on Rushworth M. Kidder’s book How Good People Make Tough Choices the Dilemmas of Ethical Living. The curriculum takes students through a series of logical steps so they can learn to independently apply specific decision-making tools to any ethical issue they might encounter. The process works best in a small-group or classroom setting. - Elementary Decision Skills
The Elementary Decision Skills curriculum provides a hands-on, interactive classroom model for teaching ethics in educational settings. Each curriculum guides teachers and students through a practical and conceptual process for making ethical decisions and defining shared values.
