How do we model ethical thinking, behaviour, and emotions during student interaction?

"Almost all approaches to moral education recognises the importance of modeling. If we would teach the young to be moral persons, we must demonstrate moral behaviour for them" (Noddings, 2008, p. 168). Efforts to be fair, responsible, and democratic in dealings with students speak volumes about teachers' values and views of morality. Research suggests that a warm, supportive classroom atmosphere supports moral development (Crystal et al., 2010; Noddings, 2008).
