 Ethics in action does
create character!
A Connecticut elementary teacher noted last fall,
"I
was warned that my incoming class was a
challenging group. However, our current focus
on character education has helped make this
the best year of teaching I have ever
experienced."
We heard this
positive testimonial three months after she
completed a two-day workshop provided by The
School for Ethical Education. Encouraging
responses from teachers is great motivation for
us to expand Mr. & Mrs. John Winthrop
Wright’s vision to promote ethics
through education.
The School for
Ethical Education (SEE), has been making
important progress in the past two years. Below
are highlights from 1996 through 1997.
*Instructor
for courses/workshops on ethics and character
topics for over 1400 educators
*Instructor
for three graduate school courses taught in
collaboration with a local university
*Consultant
for 21 Connecticut school districts to
promote ethics and character topics
*Presenter
at four nationwide educator conferences
*Presenter
for over 1200 educators, parents, and
community members during education
conferences, PTA meetings, and/or community
forums
The School for
Ethical Education continues to move forward
promoting ethics and character development. Our
goal is to expand school contacts through
universities, courses taught at educational
service centers, and direct contracts with school
districts.
We are also
enthusiastic about an additional strategic goal
for the 1997-98 school year. SEE is
beginning the process to establish a
distance-learning site which may be contacted by
way of the INTERNET. The INTERNET site will
ultimately provide professional development
course work for teachers and character
development activities for children. We believe
this strategy is an excellent use of our existing
resources. The rapid growth of INTERNET services
makes this an exciting venue to support learning
opportunities for children and adults. We welcome
you to join us in supporting, ethics in action
to create character.
