Everyday Ethics: An Introduction

Beginning in October, TheApple will feature an exclusive column titled Everyday Ethics. This column will focus on topics- some controversial- that educators encounter everyday in creating an ethical classroom. Read about our author Dr. Rosanna Pittella below:

Rosanna Pittella, MA, PhD abd, is an ethicist who based on studies of Piaget, Kohlberg, and Gilligan, developed a unique theory of integration of ethics language and concepts with standard pedagogy that has been recently published in the Journal of Higher Education, and is the focus of her presentations to regional, national, and international audiences. Ms. Pittella has built a reputation as one who delivers practical solutions, that she freely admits are unearthed and developed with the help from the unrecognized experts in American industry, those on the ground, the voiceless staffs of the corporations she serves. The application of this methodology is at the heart of the One Voice Institute of Elemental Ethics and Education, an organization or advocacy for educators dedicated to positive changes in education, which she founded with her fellow Board members. Her goal is to document and amplify the voices of the true experts in academia, the educators themselves and assist them to integrate ethics with standard American pedagogy.

Do you have an ethical dilemma you’d like Dr. Pittella to address, please send her a message.

Dr. Pittella is no stranger to TheApple. Her organization, The Institute of Elemental Ethics in Education, has been a partner of TheApple since early 2008. In addition, she has authored many articles previously for TheApple, including:
