Reflections, Resources, and Research for Pre-College Ethics Education
ABOUT SOCRATEACH
SocraTeach is a joint initiative of The Squire Family Foundation and The School for Ethics and Global Leadership. Our goal is to provide meaningful resources and reflections for pre-college ethics teachers around the world. Effective teaching is not about finding the right answers, but finding the right questions; we hope this search will be a joint endeavor between our authors and our readers. SocraTeach’s primary author is SEGL Founder and Director Noah Bopp, and includes frequent contributions from other SEGL staff members, students, and friends. The points of view in this blog do not necessarily reflect the views of the Squire Family Foundation or SEGL.
