Description
Ethical awareness and critical reflection are essential elements of effective teaching. Teachers are required to make daily decisions related to fairness, authority, inclusion, assessment, and the handling of sensitive or controversial topics. This course supports teachers of all grades in developing a strong ethical foundation that informs both professional practice and classroom pedagogy.
Participants will explore key ethical frameworks, including Kantian ethics, virtue ethics, and consequentialist approaches, and examine how these theories apply to real classroom situations. Through discussion, case studies, and collaborative activities, teachers will reflect on their own practice, exchange perspectives with colleagues from different contexts, and develop practical strategies for fostering ethical reasoning and respectful dialogue among learners.

Apply ethical frameworks to analyse classroom and professional dilemmas.
Make principled decisions regarding assessment, behaviour, and inclusion.
Facilitate respectful discussion of sensitive and controversial issues.
