Classroom Resources

The Prindle Post is an online newsmagazine with short, easily-digestible discussions of ethical elements of current events, issues, etc. Its goal is to explore all the moral matter that gets left unsaid. At the bottom of our political, cultural, and societal disagreements lie fundamental questions about how to prioritize competing moral values. The Prindle Post is designed to help readers grapple with these questions.

Examining Ethics is a popular podcast featuring interviews with philosophers, educators, and other leaders in ethics education focusing on cutting-edge issues in moral philosophy today. Its goal is to make the complex accessible, and present ethical issues, distinctions, and disagreements in a novel and innovative way for audiences from all walks of life.

Our Teaching Children Philosophy library helps educators use children’s literature to spark meaningful dialogue about big ideas. With nearly 300 discussion guides designed for grades K–5—and an expanding collection for middle grades—the library offers a rich resource for encouraging curiosity, reasoning, and reflection in the classroom. Each guide includes age-appropriate questions to draw out ethical and philosophical themes from beloved picture books. Educators can also explore curated thematic collections that group stories around topics like fairness, friendship, courage, and identity. Many guides are available in Spanish, and new translations are added regularly.

Ethical reasoning is most effective when it is brought to life in narrative—we don’t, after all, tend to make most decisions from an abstract, theoretical headspace. Case-based reasoning is central to the Institute’s overarching pedagogical strategy, and developing case resources is thus central to our content strategy. Used in workshops and classrooms, and soon to be available publicly, we have an ever-growing library of purpose-built case studies designed to get students thinking, talking, and working together on ethical issues with immediate buy-in.

We conceived our brand new Educator Hub as a solution to some key challenges that teachers face in integrating ethics education content and methods into their classroom practice. The Educator Hub will become the primary organization mechanism for all the Institute’s resources across various modes, media, and contexts. It will feature a responsive design that prioritizes user-friendly interface, speed of navigation, and clear organizational schemes for both browsing and searching classroom materials. The Educator Hub is currently in a limited preview, and will be made fully available in Fall 2025.
