About/Registration
Join faculty and staff from the Parr Center for Ethics at the Chapel Hill Public Library on December 9, 2023 from 1-6PM for a Saturday workshop on Ethical Deliberation in the High School Classroom. In this workshop, we’ll draw on deliberative pedagogical methods used across the Center’s award-winning programming to work with pre- and in-service teachers on integrating hard conversations about ethical values into their classroom teaching practice. Our case-based deliberative approach focuses on equipping students to navigate the demands of their academic, social, and civic lives with care, empathy, and rigor. This event is open to all North Carolina Teachers. CEU credit is available in partnership with the UNC Friday Center for Continuing Education, and dinner will be provided. Free advance registration is required.
