Ettalong school seeks voluntary ethics teachers
Ettalong Public School is seeking volunteer teachers for its ethics classes.
"Special Education in Ethics builds students' critical reasoning abilities, helping them identify strong and weak arguments and navigate ethical dilemmas," said principal Ms Jodie Campbell.
"In ethics lessons, students develop reflective thinking, empathy, perspective-taking, and communication skills, tools that prepare them to make informed choices."
The ethics classes run every Tuesday at 10:30 am and at 11:30am.
"The program is made possible by parents and community volunteers.
"We are looking for three volunteers to join the program.
"Teaching ethics is a great way to get involved in the classroom and support the school.'
Ethics teachers receive free training from the Primary Ethics organisation.
"Primary Ethics is a not-for-profit organisation approved by the Department of Education to design curriculum and training for the ethics program."
Training is available either face-to-face or through online workshops.
Primary Ethics provides detailed lesson plans and materials.
