ABSTRACT
Teaching ethics involves ethical content instruction, and can be manifested as a stand-alone ethics course or integrated into multiple courses within undergraduate or graduate curricula. Discussions about ethics in teaching can involve almost any subject where harm may occur and where responsibility in judgment must occur. There are, for example, potential perils in the affect associated with experiential learning as well as reflections on the dissonance created when students are presented with unwelcome ideology. Field observation offers invaluable insights, but may also come with correlative negative impacts on students' subsequent evaluations of 'others', including incarcerated youth or mental health patients. Issues surrounding ethics in teaching are ubiquitous, and may be encountered both in and out of the classroom. Students have come to greatly appreciate the classroom style, which is discussion-based rather than lecture-based. Students are encouraged to verbally participate in and are rewarded for adding thoughtful comments to the discussion.
