Welcome to another episode of the CFI Teaching Podcasts. For this podcast, we will discuss the James Madison University (JMU) Madison Collaborative: Ethical Reasoning in Action initiative. The Madison Collaborative is part of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). The goal of the QEP, according to the Madison Collaborative website, is to "enhance educational quality via student learning." The focus of the JMU QEP is to teach students ethical reasoning skills that can be applied in all aspects of their daily life (professional, personal, etc.). Dr. Audrey Burnett, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Dr. Kara Kavanagh, Assistant Professor in the Department of Early, Elementary, and Reading Education provide a background on the this initiative at JMU and tips for integrating ethical reasoning into your course(s). Both Audrey and Kara are serving as Faculty Fellows with the JMU Ethical Reasoning in Action office.
