Weigh principles, consequences and affected groups in a structured judgment. Ethics Deliberation is selected when its reasoning mechanism matches an accepted learning requirement and produces evidence a teacher can inspect.

01How the architecture unfolds

  1. Define the learning target and evidence.
  2. Run the Ethics Deliberation routine with one bounded case.
  3. Capture evidence and identify the next teaching move.

02The work on each side

  • Apply
  • Explain

03What would count as learning?

  • Students produce an observable response linked to the target

04Across the curriculum
