NEW: The Ethics of American Youth
The Josephson Institute of Ethics (JI) recently released its '2008 Report Card on the Ethics of American Youth.' It is based on a survey of nearly 30,000 students in high schools across the U.S. NOTE: This 'Report Card' is NOT associated with the Ethics Initiative of Zones 23 & 24. However, past surveys of JI stimulated the idea to make Youth Ethics a major initiative in Zones 23-24 during 2007-2009. 12 of our districts are serving as Pilot Districts, working in collaboration with a team from JI, to develop Ethics Training Modules for RYLA & Interact programs. The draft modules will be field-tested in RYLA programs during January-April 2009.
