DilemmaWise - Ethical Decision Making In Education and Parenting

Under pressure from politicians, parents and public, schools are expected to play a much greater role in the personal and social education of society’s youngest members.

DilemmaWise – Ethical decision-making in Education & Parenting is the first and only independent, international, interactive forum, examining specifically the ethical challenges faced by educators and parents.

DilemmaWise analyses subscribers’ contributions in terms of the dilemmas involved and the means to resolve them ethically (without naming names). It includes ideas for developing schools as moral communities using a straightforward six-step method, Dilemma Training.

DilemmaWise is interactive. Subscribers contribute to an online forum about issues surrounding ethical dilemmas, and each 2-monthly issue examines and analyses one or two of the subjects discussed by forum members, or any dilemmas arising from their reading of ‘Am I Right? Or Am I Right? - an Introduction to Ethical Decision Making’ www.amiright.co.uk.

DilemmaWise examines dilemmas from the real everyday moral choices confronting subscribers involved in working and living with young people. These include: children’s dilemmas such as choosing friends, telling tales, bullying, stranger danger; teachers’ dilemmas, from how to ‘fairly’ choose the members of the football team, to making difficult decisions concerning the care and safety of students; parents’ dilemmas in dealing with their children and their teachers; and managers’ dilemmas such as supporting staff and allocating resources.

DilemmaWise contributes significantly in situations involving substance misuse, as well as street crime, and examines the role of parents, family, young people, police, teachers and youth workers in helping make the right moral choices.

DilemmaWise – Ethical decision-making in Education & Parenting is an essential tool to help make the ethically right choices. Subscribe Now.
