How confident are educators about teaching ethical understanding? This practical workshop will:
- explain a scope and sequence model for developing ethical understanding
- provide practical ethical reasoning strategies that teachers can apply across the curriculum
- highlight possible ways in which teachers can embed ethical issues in their curriculum units
The workshop will be run by Lesley Henderson, who is a lecturer in the School of Education at Flinders University where she coordinates the Gifted Education specialisation within the postgraduate courses, and is the Assistant Dean, Teaching and Learning.
