* Ethics Training Facilitators Needed! *

Ethics Facilitator Training

The Graduate and Advanced Studies in collaboration with the Ethics
Institute at Dartmouth developed an institution-wide program of training
in the basics of professional ethics for first year graduate students.
The Graduate Ethics Program has three components: an opening session
during orientation, four small group discussions on focal topics to be
taken fall term of the first year of graduate school, and an online
ethics survey.

For the second phase of the Ethics program, Aine Donovan, Executive
Director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College offers a four-part
ethics training session focusing on key ethical issues to train future
Ethics Facilitators.

Graduate students, postdocs, administrators, and faculty who attend the
sessions will gain skills in case style teaching methods and develop a
framework for thinking about ethical issues that occur in research.
Those who attend the training sessions will then facilitate four ethics
workshops for a small group of first year students in the fall of 2017.
Trainers will receive $50 per facilitated session.

If you are interested in the Training for Trainers please email Kerry
Landers a brief statement of interest in teaching ethics and a copy of
your cv/resume by Jan 16. Also, please sign-up on libcal at http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2897471

Trainers are expected to attend all the workshops listed below for the
2017 winter term.

The facilitator training sessions are on the following dates in the
Ethics Institute conference room:

Diversity and Professionalism, Tuesday, February 7, 2-4 pm

Mentoring, Tuesday, February 14, 2-4 pm
