Reading Group: Ethics of Teaching

While academic dishonesty is a common topic of conversation among faculty, there is a rich and varied set of experiences that also fall within the ethics of teaching realm. Whether you’re a new faculty member, someone just earning tenure, or a long-experienced teacher, there are many types of experiences with students that may fall within gray areas, where an ethical dilemma may rear up. If you have ever puzzled about the right thing to do with a student situation, this reading group is for you!

The Ethics of Teaching: A Casebook (2^nd) by Patricia Keith-Spiegel and colleagues is a highly accessible, sometimes funny, always relevant set of 195 micro-cases highlighting ethical issues in teaching. Because teaching practice is inherently relational, issues are bound to pop up! Join Kathy Lund Dean and Alisa Rosenthal for a safe and supportive set of three conversations, using the Casebook as our guide.
