Middle School Ethics Education

A foundational ethics course that gives students the language and tools necessary to distinguish between right and wrong. Throughout the course, students examine and apply ethical principles to real-world situations that preteens and young adolescents commonly encounter in school, at home, and with friends.

This 54-page course guide includes learning objectives, activities, ethics cases for students, academic connections, online resources, and more.

10 lesson modules that may be used individually or together as a coordinated instructional series. Topics covered in these modules include the nature of ethics, ethical principles, and responding to ethical dilemmas.

The modules are ideal for classroom use, but they are also appropriate for alternative settings, such as in homeroom, advisory periods, or student organizations.

A comprehensive handbook that includes strategies to encourage school-wide integration of principles-based ethics, introductory ethics lessons, academic connections, engaging activities, bell ringers, exit tickets, a service-learning project, and communications for the classroom and beyond.

The goal of these resources is singular: to facilitate growth of students’ principles-based ethical decision-making skills in school before being faced with actual ethical dilemmas in real life.

Our new career exploration series emphasizes introspective and experiential skills as students prepare for their future careers.

Module components include an ethical dilemma, narrative, discussion questions, online resources, activities, and journal prompt—everything you need for a ready-to-use lesson plan!
