Lesson Plan
Integrity Compass Guide
Students will apply the 4-step ethical decision-making model to analyze two real-world dilemmas—including a shop class project—clarify their values, and justify a values-aligned decision in writing.
Adding a hands-on shop class scenario helps students see integrity issues in varied contexts, building bias awareness, courage, and agency for life beyond academics.
