The School for Ethical
Education (SEE) is a recognized 501(c)(3) education organization that is nonsectarian and
obtains most of its financial support from public and foundation grants, fee
for services, and gifts from Wright Investors' Service
of Milford, Connecticut. SEE is not affiliated with any religious organization and
does not espouse or represent a specific religious belief through its
programs.
Integrity Works!
 This program promotes academic
integrity to reduce cheating and plagiarism in high schools. SEE
provides program schools guidance to form an academic integrity
committee (AIC) with the goal of authoring, implementing and
evaluating a strategic plan promoting academic integrity. This
website is designed to provide (1) project school participants
with relevant information while participating in the program,
(2) non-project school staff or students with the opportunity to
network and exchange information about academic integrity, and
(3) anyone interested in researching academic integrity with
resources and a conceptual model to support their inquiry.
John Winthrop Wright Ethics in Action Award
SEE supports the recognition of a leader in Connecticut
who demonstrates authentic commitment to ethics and positive
character. Named after SEE’s founder,
John Winthrop Wright the
Ethics in Action Award seeks to highlight men or women who
successfully lead others while clearly demonstrating positive
character. The Award is presented annually during SEE’s spring
Character Celebration, which also recognizes Connecticut’s top
ten Laws of Life essayists. Future award winners may be
nominated through this website.
Laws of Life Essay
Program
The Laws of Life essay program is a writing project with a
focus on character development. Laws of Life provides students
in grades 5-12 the unique opportunity to reflect and write about
their core values, principles and ideals that will guide them
throughout their lives. The writing process for Laws of Life can
be integrated into many academic subject areas such as English
literature, language arts, history and health. The School for
Ethical Education has been administering the Laws of Life essay
program in Connecticut since 2000 and recognizes the top ten
essay writers at an annual spring Character Celebration banquet.
 Service-Learning Program - Youth: Ethics in Service (YES)
Youth: Ethics in Service (YES) helps Connecticut educators
and youth in grades 2-12 implement meaningful service-learning
projects. The goal of YES is to promote academic achievement,
critical thinking, character development and civic engagement
through the teaching strategy of service-learning.
Service-learning is different from community service in that it
involves a deliberate inclusion of academic curriculum and
reflection before, during, and after service. Resources on this
website are available to support well implemented
service-learning by—
- linking service activities to clear learning objectives,
- engaging students in service-project research, planning
and implementation,
- completing meaningful service work, and
- integrating reflection and evaluation into the project.
Student Activists for Service Learning
The School for Ethical Education began a youth-philanthropy
board in January 2004 as a project supported by its Federal
Learn and Serve grant. The students named this board, Student
Activists for Service-Learning (SASL). The goal of the youth
philanthropy board is to provide high school students the
training and experience to successfully distribute mini-grants
in support of service-learning projects. SASL students recruit,
evaluate, fund and assess service-learning projects implemented
by New Haven County secondary schools or school-based service
groups.
