Develop a lower secondary school training program on interdisciplinary perspectives in moral psychology
As part of the general improvement theme of scaffolding and ensuring adaptive understandings of moral psychology, a more direct step can be to develop a lower secondary school (~9th grade) training program on foundations in moral psychology that integrates deeper conceptual and interdisciplinary perspectives.
To begin, you can think about building on elements from the Evolutionary Anthropology in the Primary School syllabus.
Additionally, see how elements of the Human Behavior and Sustainability module, and the Our Mind section of our Teacher’s Guide may help inform your project.
