Abstract

AbstractIn this essay Dustin Webster argues that it is not the teaching of academics, but instead contributing to the ethical development of students that allows teachers to flourish in their roles. Engaging in what he calls “ethics education” provides intrinsic value that serves a teacher's flourishing as well as adding instrumental value in allowing a teacher to overcome certain crises in their practice. This essay begins by defining the idea of ethics education and how it is this component of education specifically that allows a teacher to flourish. Examples from teachers show that even within their instructional academic roles, it is the ethical components of student development that are most important to them. Lastly, the instrumental value that ethics education holds for teachers in solving dilemmas of justice is discussed.
