Ethical consciousness and curriculum: defining and practicing ethical consciousness in the curricular landscape

Because education is a moral endeavour, the aims of education must deliberately reflect this effort and help students develop the values and sensibilities toward this end. This thesis has arisen out of my desire to explore what teachers and educators can do to develop and integrate a curriculum that is informed by ethical consciousness: a mindfulness for human dignity, aesthetic beauty, and appreciation for the natural environment, and a spirit of respect for all living things. Using my own background to set the site for reflective discourse, I have attempted to invite educators to explore what is currently being applied as aspects of moral education; critically reassess their own practices; and re-orient their thinking so that curriculum can become more connective, engaging, inspirited, and ethically conscious. / Graduate
