CL7.2.d. Belief that honesty pays

January 27, 2016 By Romy Blystone

Students believe that honesty and integrity will help them succeed in school and life and strengthen their relationships; they reject common rationalizations for lying and cheating as false and short-sighted (e.g., one has to lie or cheat in order to succeed, everyone cheats, it’s only cheating if you get caught).

CL7.2.b. Honest communications

January 27, 2016 By Romy Blystone

Students recognize the central role honesty plays in generating trust, and they demonstrate honesty in their communications in three ways: 1) Truthfulness. Students are truthful; everything they say is true to the best of their knowledge (i.e., they do not lie). 2) Sincerity. Students are sincere. This means they always convey the truth as best they can, avoiding all forms of accidental or intentional deception, distortion, or trickery (e.g., it is dishonest to tell only part of the truth or to omit important facts in an effort to create a false impression). 3) Candor. Students know that certain relationships (e.g., parent-child, teacher-student, best friends) create a very high expectation of trust. In these relationships, honesty requires them to be candid and forthright by volunteering information to assure that they are conveying the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (e.g., a student who accidentally spills soda on a school computer must voluntarily tell the teacher without being asked; a student who breaks her mother’s favorite vase must tell her mother voluntarily).

CL7.2.a. Integrity

January 27, 2016 By Romy Blystone

Students demonstrate integrity by adhering to ethical principles, acting honorably and assuring that there is consistency between their beliefs, words, and actions. They safeguard their integrity and demonstrate their character by exercising the moral courage to do the right thing even when it is difficult or detrimental to their relationships, social standing, careers, or economic well-being (i.e., they do the right thing even when it costs more than they want to pay).

CL7.2. Trustworthiness

January 27, 2016 By Romy Blystone

Students develop and demonstrate the character trait of trustworthiness. They understand that trust is an essential ingredient in meaningful and lasting relationships, as well as school and career success, and they strive to earn the trust of others by demonstrating the ethical virtues of integrity, honesty, promise-keeping, and loyalty.
