Jane's workplace values chime well with volunteering as an ethics teacher - and the skills she learns feed back into her work role. Win-win.

Did you catch the #ethics lesson about empathy on Insight? And our curriculum writer Kelby Mason was in the audience discussion. Luckily there's SBS on demand to view it again - the ethics class comes in at 43.53 minutes

Reading through the ethics discussion rules reminded our volunteer Shane Arthurson of his visit to Parliamentary question time last year - and not in a good way.
He writes about what he saw on our blog: https://t.co/Oaxlk4R3Ts

We're also looking forward to running ethics programs in an expanding number of high schools this year! https://t.co/uHAXUdH3DM

“We encourage students to put themselves in somebody else’s shoes – why that’s fair and why something else is not fair.” How ethics classes can help children - and later adults - make good choices.

@niltiac By the way, hope you are recovering well!

@niltiac Thanks for pointing that out Caitlin @niltiac, it is indeed an inaccurate depiction of ethics teachers and lessons. More from us later.

@JaneCaro @secularschools @DenyseWhelan1 @1952Relle @AustralianStory NSW law now provides for Ethics education as an option in the same timeslot as scripture. Thousands of trained volunteers deliver an approved philosophical ethics curriculum in hundreds of public schools every week. We commence our 13th year this month!

@amorphic @LynAldenContact Thanks James. Think/reason/discuss is the basis of our curriculum and a good basis for all public discourse too.

Alexa Stuart, 18, has gone back to her primary school as a volunteer ethics teacher, as she loved ethics so much herself.

The lasting power of ethics lessons! We now have a number of former students who have returned to volunteer as ethics teachers - including 18 year old Alexa in her own Newcastle primary school.
