Additional Description

Abstract

The American school system was not designed to familiarize its students with the language and concepts of ethics they will need as heirs and future leaders of a nation with ever increasing global reach and influence. Based on research of current and past pedagogy, classroom observations in public and private schools, and the work of behaviorists Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Carol Gilligan, this thesis proposes the integration of ethics consciousness and vocabulary with standard American pedagogy. Included herein are practical examples of techniques and materials proposed for utilization by intentional teachers of students from pre-k through college level.
