Nearly 300 discussion guides that use picture books to open big questions about fairness, friendship, courage, and identity. Many are available in Spanish, and a middle-grades collection is growing.

Use it for read-alouds, morning meeting, and literature circles.

Purpose-built cases that put students inside a real decision, so the ethical reasoning happens in narrative rather than in the abstract. Written for discussion, group work, and Ethics Bowl practice.

Use it for seminar discussion, structured debate, and writing prompts.

Short, readable pieces on the moral questions underneath current events. Each one surfaces the competing values at stake and leaves the verdict to the reader.

Use it for bell-ringers, current-events units, and reading assignments.

A podcast of conversations with philosophers, educators, and other leaders in ethics on the questions moving the field right now. Complex ideas, made accessible without being watered down.

Use it for assigned listening, flipped lessons, and discussion starters.
