Ethics in Planning

Ethics is one of the factors I wouldn't have paid attention to if the class had not read the Caffarella chapter. We were talking about ethics in planning and given scenarios to discuss in class.  Educators have an ethical responsibility to planning adult education programs. Sometimes the vision we see is not what the client sees and we are put into difficult situations.  It is easy to say what I would do when the stakes aren't high or hypothetical, but I like to think I would do the right thing,

Ethical issues arise when people are asked to do something that violates their personal beliefs. I was thinking after the class conversation that having a core support team may help to alleviate the occurrence of unethical issues.  A good team would consist of people who have the same goals in mind as the planners and the organization. The team would know the objectives and outcomes of the program before its implementation and therefore be a good deterrent to issues arising.
