Ford, Elinor R.; Durante, Sheila Rae; Ristau, Karen, Ed.; Haney, Regina, Ed.
The As We Teach and Learn program consists of an instrument to assess the Catholic dimension of a school and is designed to be used with study modules in a faculty-meeting format. Module topics include: "Faith Community"; "Faith Development"; "Religion Curriculum Articulation: Faith as the Root of all Instruction"; "Service Learning"; "Prayer and Liturgy Integration"; and "Social Justice." Each module has been created so that it can stand alone or be used with other modules. Each module contains an overview of the complete program, a general introduction, directions and suggestions for using the program, a suggested first faculty meeting outline, an introduction to the module, outlines of five meetings, materials which can be duplicated, a suggested final faculty meeting, and a school planning form. This module, "Religion Curriculum Articulation: Faith as the Root of All Instruction," focuses on answering the question, "How is this school Catholic?" Five specific topics include: "The Catholic School Teacher: Growing in Catechetical and Theological Wisdom and Witness"; "The Religion Curriculum: A Fitting Instrument of Grace"; "The Religion Methodology: Meeting the Needs of Individual Faith Journeys"; "The Religion Assessment: Examining Individual and Total School Faith Growth"; and "The Religion Infusion: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Critical Religion Topics and Projects." Thirty-one appendices are included. (RJC)
