Continuing the Conversation: a Post-Bowl Discussion Topic and Guide

If your regional Bowl is over and your team didn’t advance, that’s no reason to disband. Thanks to Coach Michael Andersen, you can easily pivot into Ethics Club mode with this ready-made discussion guide. It’s even tied back to a couple of old Ethics Bowl cases. And if you’d appreciate more off-season resources like this, post a comment or shoot me an email at matt (at) mattdeaton.com! Perhaps we can accommodate.

Philosophy Club Agenda Examples

Michael Andersen, Volunteer Ethics Bowl Coach and Philosophy Club Adviser at the Vancouver School of Arts & Academics in Washington State, generously agreed to share the below philosophy club agendas. But more than mere agendas, I’d consider them full mini-curriculum.

I’ve come across quite a few pre-college philosophy learning materials. But I know of none anywhere that match Michael’s mix of gravitas, thoroughness and engagement. Videos, visuals, links to further resources? These are best-in-class resources, folks.

So if you need ideas on how to take your own Philosophy, Ethics Bowl or Ethics Olympiad club to the next level, look no further. And thanks as always for sharing, Michael!
