Ethics Training Storytelling Resources

Danielle Mozzetta's "Train the Trainer" program was one of the more effective sessions at the recent OGE conference. She stressed the importance of "storytelling" (i.e., providing real examples) as a way of increasing student retention, giving rise to the question, "But what if you don't know any relevant stories to tell the audience?"

Two good sources of instructional ethics examples are:

1. The Department of Defense Standards of Conduct Office's "Encyclopedia of Ethical Failure," acclaimed by the Wall Street Journal and others, and
2. This web site. We routinely link to news accounts of ethical transgressions. Our archives are searchable via by topics using our "Categories" system, linked at the left of every page or by key words using our search engine box in the upper right hand corner of every page.

Incidentally, note that the current search engine results page has advertisements inserted by the company that provides this service. We do not receive any revenue from them. We hope to install a search engine without ads in the not too distant future, but for the time being, this is the best we can do with our limited budget (basically, zero $).
