The Contribution That Can Keep On Giving
After our
Tenth Anniversary Gala in April we decided that we wanted to continue our
REALeader level of membership in the Rutland Ethics Alliance (created for the
tenth anniversary). To do so, we identified a new benefit: the ability to award
a scholarship to a K-12 teacher to attend The Ethics Across the Curriculum
seminar.
The benefit allows REALeaders to provide some welcome recognition and professional development to a teacher at a school or within a school district of their choosing. We currently have two teachers registered to attend because of scholarships and several other school districts have their principals determining a teacher they’d like to send. It seems like it will be an effective way to spread the philosophy and teaching tools to train more K-12 teachers to comfortably guide their classes through some thorny ethical topics.

Ethics Challenges and Responses
Cheating on State Testing Programs
This is a June 25th
article in Ethisphere. Detailed in the article is a tragedy of epic scale
across the public schools in our nation. The International Center for AcademicIntegrity (within the Rutland Institute) celebrates its 20th year in
2012. The majority of its work has focused on “the academy” (colleges and
universities), but it has also worked with high schools and some middle schools.
Meth, money and lobbying: Guess who’s the biggest spender again?
Kentucky is a state with a huge methamphetamine
abuse problem. This editorial outlines how pharmaceutical companies, through
their lobbying association, used their money and influence with legislators to water
down laws to limit the sale of an essential drug used to make meth. How many
other similar issues occur in the legislatures across the country?
