Ethics Integration Specialists

Thanks to the generous support of the Daniels Fund, we’ve trained an exceptional group of Ethics Integration Specialists whose mission is to help us integrate ethics in classrooms across the country.

Sharing Ethics Across the Country

Our long-term goal is to have an Ethics Integration Specialist available in every state. Interested in scheduling an ethics training in your backyard?

Ethics Integration Specialist Training

We utilize a train-the-trainer model in our Ethics Integration Specialist Training, so each participant experiences the same training they will conduct in their own state. Our Ethics Integration Specialists share their knowledge of ethics with other educators in their state via presentations at professional conferences, webinars, local district professional development events, etc.

Class of 2024

In May 2024, we trained 15 high school and middle school educators as Ethics Integration Specialists.

Class of 2023

In Spring of 2023, we trained 20 high school and middle school educators as Ethics Integration Specialists. Click here for photos from the training.

Class of 2022

In Spring of 2022, we trained 26 educators from across the country as Ethics Integration Specialists! Read more about that training here.

This training was an amazing and eye-opening experience I believe benefits every educator that is looking for support in their classroom or wants to play an active role in the development of meaningful pedagogy. This partnership between MBA Research and the Daniels Fund is doing the important work to make sure that ethics are at the forefront of education.
