So many times we find students who have committed some form of academic dishonesty have done so for unacademic reasons. When students misstep, we need to approach from a place of compassion, yet strong ethical intent to teach them why their act was inappropriate and how that might be reflected in practice later on. This program will attempt to explore these reasons behind academic misdeeds and the range of responses educators can have to promote learning from such mistakes and building a strong ethical base in these students.
