This interactive session charts a process for Ethical Literacy® curriculum mapping at the Clairbourn School. The Clairbourn Ethical Literacy team, by utilizing its established set of five core ethical values, produced a Scope and Sequence for ethical values integration across grade levels, collaborating with faculty during in-service. The result is a “Primer” outlining ethics opportunities, PK – 8. Clementine Suiffet, Clairbourn 4th grade teacher and Ethical Literacy team member, will provide background on establishing core values with faculty at Clairbourn, and designing the scope and sequence for these values as a full faculty process. Attendees will engage in a brief activity to begin thinking how to map ethics and values to curriculum at their respective schools.
