Class Experience

In this course, we will discuss the following:

- What morals, values, and ethics are, and where they come from.
- Students will discuss parts of their life that they consider valuable, and how their morality and ethics are grown from those things.
- Students will learn how morality and ethics are cultivated from values by discussing the studies of six major philosophers: I will introduce and discuss the teachings of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Hume, Nietzsche, and Kant.

- I will lead the students in an activity where they determine what morality and ethics mean to them based on the teachings of the philosophers covered in class.
- Students will then practice making scenario-based decisions around their morals, values, and ethics. These scenario-based questions will be tapered around situations they may encounter in school (example: while in class, a teacher says something that is factually incorrect. How might you handle this situation and why would you handle it that way?).
- Lastly, we will discuss how these three aspects build on each other to make a solid leader. We will practice leadership scenarios based on moral and ethical decision-making.

Please Note: We will not discuss any extreme situations in this course, such as death, murder, drugs, sex, violence, etc. If an extreme or serious point is brought up by a student, I will refer that student back to his/her parents for a more serious discussion. I will also send the parent a message via OutSchool so that they can follow up. This class is created to help students build solid leadership skills only. Part of becoming a good leader is understanding your own values, morals, and ethics.

Learning Goals

Students will define morals, ethics, and values. Students will identify at least three personal morals, ethics, and values. Students will apply these aspects to leadership decision making practice.

I have served as a middle and high school teacher/ counselor for many years. In this capacity, I have watched teenagers develop their own moral compass with or without the information that they need in order to do it well. I have learned about philosophy in the processes of helping to guide them to sound decision-making practices, and hope to share that knowledge with even more students on this platform.
