The
H
istorical Origin
The root of integrity is from the Latin word
integritatem
, meaning
“
soundness” or “ wholeness.” “integrity (n.) c.1400, ‘innocence, blamelessness; chastity, purity,’ from Old French
integrité or directly from Latin integritatem (nominative integritas) ‘soundness, wholeness, blamelessness,’ from integer ‘whole’ (see integer). Sense of ‘wholeness, perfect condition’ is mid-15c" (Harper, 2001-2013
).
The word integrity is derived from the Latin word
integri
, meaning wholeness. It is defined as a ‘state of being whole or undiminished.’ It is also defined as a state of ‘soundness of and adherence to moral principle.’ Since integrity is an aspect of one's character and behavior, the definitions are highly related. It has been argued that a leader's character cannot become whole and integrated unless it is grounded in a solid infrastructure of moral
values. It is noted that “specific
behaviors of a leader associated with
integrity are identified
as a superordinate value on which character is rooted” (
Sankar
, 2003, p. 48). Slide4

Back into the Classroom
Bringing Integrity
Teaching integrity in the classroom is a very difficult task to achieve. According to Edwin J. Del
Attre
, morals can only be a learned behavior after it is demonstrated multiple times. It is a task that can only be learned by example time and time again. One cannot simply walk into a classroom one day and teach one lesson and expect students to respond. Just like learning multiplication tables, it is learned out of a good habit. Modeling integrity on a daily basis and talking about why we made those decisions help students have good morals.
Character is based on forming habits and repeating the action several times until it become natural (Wiley, 2010). However, “because
people can become habituated by repeated behavior under responsible and loving training and supervision, the habits of morality can be learned.” (Wiley, 2010).Slide6
Teaching Integrity
How?
Integrity can be a part of the curriculum and the classroom environment through teacher modeling and praise of students or characters in books who exhibit integrity.
When?
Daily! Integrity can even be used in class meetings. Discussing morals and values as a class.
Lickona
(1991) states that “once a teacher has identified an opening in the curriculum for exploring a moral value, the next step is to plan an effective lesson or unit around that value” (p.170).
Where
?
In the classroom and in any subject that allows discussion of integrity. For example, during a unit of money word problems, a teacher could discuss how a person who borrows money from another should return the money because that is showing integrity and it is the right thing to do.
One
avenue of teaching integrity in the classroom is to ask the questions that will cause the student to consider others.
Covaleskie
(2012) tells of what happens to a student and teacher in the hallways after an altercation when the teacher asked the student, who had bullied the other student, which side was he on. This question initially startled the student but caused him to reflect on his action (as cited in Meier, 2012
).
Classroom Application
Bring in articles, videos or books about people with integrity.
Have students write a list of do’s and don’ts for people with integrity
Have students role play of scenarios where children may be faced with issues that may interfere with their integrity.
Students can write how they can be people of integrity. Create an Integrity Wall to praise students that made efforts to show integrity within the classroom.
