Presenter: Jane Rose Njue, Ph.D., CFLE

When teaching future Family Science professionals, it is important that instructors promote the ethical skills and competencies of students so that they can identify and solve dilemmas when working with individuals, children, and families in the community. It is critical to prepare students to develop moral courage so that they can act ethically as citizens and as Family Science professionals. Training ethics and moral courage, however, can be challenging to do in a traditional classroom setting especially for those that have not received formal training on how to teach ethics.

This webinar will provide information for those teaching ethics in a college classroom and will include information on how to define different types of ethics, address the process of solving ethical dilemmas, examine key ethical issues surrounding family professionals, and discuss ethical dilemmas that could occur in a work setting. The participants will also learn how to teach students to examine, understand, and apply the codes of ethics of three professional organizations: National Council on Family Relations, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and the National Association of Social Workers. Finally, activities will be shared that can be utilized and practiced in one’s own teaching settings.

Overall, attendees will leave this webinar with the ability to:

1. Teach students how to solve ethical dilemmas;
2. Form an activity for students to compare and contrast ethical principles of family life education, family therapy, and family case management;
3. Produce ethical scenarios to use in the classroom.

Approved for 1 hour of CFLE continuing education credit.
