To Close out 2013...

This last article caught
my eye and the message was even better than I’d hoped. Consider this a gift to
close out 2013. As you create your 2014 list of things you plan to accomplish, I
hope that it will include acknowledging some failures. Then they can begin to
fade away and you can move on to more successes – and failures – on the journey
we call life.

The assertion that these two these things — responsible action and politics— are incompatible (i.e., strange bedfellows, or like oil and water) is unlikely to meet with resistance. After all, support for this idea is ready to hand: the current crisis in Washington, that is, the shutdown of the federal government and the threat that the debt ceiling will not be raised (i.e., that the United States will not be able to honor legal obligations that were created by Congressional action), is the upshot of action that is crassly political, the rhetorical sound bites to the contrary notwithstanding, and irresponsible. Here I will focus on the latter. The former can scarcely be doubted.

This is a user-friendly seminar in which abstract theory is avoided in
favor of equipping participants with a few basic tools. It begins with
getting clear about what ethics is and what it isn’t. Hypothetical cases
are used to elicit some basic ethical ideas and develop them in a
user-friendly way; with an eye to application. The aim is to prepare
teachers to integrate ethics into their regular classes by engaging
their students in discussion while modeling for them a systematic,
reflective and responsible approach to ethical issues. Wrong moves that
students will almost certainly make are identified and techniques for
handling them are discussed. In addition to being equipped to engage
students in meaningful ethical discourse, teachers need to “have been
there and done that” to feel truly comfortable integrating ethics into
their regular classes. The seminar is designed to create these “bankable
or take-home experience.”
