Consulting and Mentoring
Consulting
The best way to implement improvements
at your facility/classroom(s) may be to hire a consultant.
Rather than provide a formal workshop or
class on ethics, a consultant studies your system, observes, listens to
constituents, analyzes data and makes recommendations for improving the ethical
integrity of your institution. The consultant helps you plan and implement your
goals and objectives.
Key pieces of consulting are as follows:
1) information intake and analysis
leading to recommendations
2) helping constituents buy into the
recommendations
3) serving as facilitator when glitches
or roadblocks develop
4) conducting an assessment of the
effectiveness of implementation
The Character Development Foundation
offers consultants for individual teachers wishing to implement a comprehensive
character-building classroom, as well as administrators of schools, colleges,
places of business and programs.
Choosing from a wide variety of
professionals in the area of ethics, the Character Development Foundation
matches clients with a consultant having expertise in that particular field.
The client and consultant meet and write
a contract specifying the tasks and timeline. The Character Development
Foundation houses the contract and sees that the obligations are met.
If you are interested in becoming a
consultant, send a resume of your work in the area of ethics and ethics
education to the Character Development Foundation.

Mentoring
A mentor is a professional with expertise in ethics and ethics education. A
mentor sits with an individual or group and listens to ethical concerns. There
are many ethical issues that arise and seem to have no apparent resolution. A
mentor facilitates processing of those ethical issues by asking probing
questions and providing information from the field of ethics and ethics
education. A mentor serves as an advisor through the learning process of
implementing ethical behavior and ethical education. All sessions are
confidential and non-binding. Mentorship may be through face-to-face meetings,
telephone conferencing or electronic messaging.
If you are interested in serving as a mentor, send a resume of your work in the
area of ethics, ethics education and mentoring to the Character Development
Foundation, along with this application.
