Area High Schools See Value in All Students Receiving Ethics Classes

Junior Achievement of Dane County delivered JA Excellence through Ethics® (ETE) to 930 Madison West
and Sauk Prairie High School students. Schools decided to deliver ETE to students in their homeroom
classes where all students take part in Academic Career Planning (ACP) related lessons.
After the ETE program, a teacher from Madison West commented, “I have never seen my homeroom
students be more thoughtful and engaged." Another teacher said, “I believe the students had a chance to
view ethics through the eyes of an employer, rather than just through their own."
Volunteers portray examples they have encountered themselves in business and also give students case
studies they may encounter in high school, such as a friend asking to use their employee discount. One
teacher commented, "The ethical scenarios really gave the students an idea of how ambiguous and fluid
ethical decisions can be in some circumstances.”

Have an ethical case study to share with high school students? Contact your local JA office to volunteer.
