Description

Please join us for this joint workshop day for catechists and teachers put on by the Department for Catholic Schools and the Office of Catechesis We are excited to spend the day with teachers and catechists from the Archdiocese of Portland on August 22, 2022 for a program on the Beatitudes and the Moral Life. Explore the Beatitudes and how Jesus revealed through them the deepest meaning of God’s law. You’ll learn how to help your students see why Catholicism isn’t simply compliance with arbitrary rules, and how to connect the truths of our Faith with living a virtuous life. This Workshop will provide you with ideas to make morality relevant to your students. Spend time reflecting on the themes of freedom, virtue, sin, conscience, and the Beatitudes. You'll also receive a free copy of The Beatitudes, a supplemental teacher's guide packed with fully-developed lesson plans and activities that will help you engage your students with the Catholic Faith. This Workshop blends scholar presentations with interactive pedagogical sessions, giving you a chance to explore content with a respected scholar, as well as explore and simulate practical teaching strategies with ready-to-use classroom materials. Share best practices with your fellow teachers, enjoy catered breakfast and lunch, and engage in both formal and informal discussions. Lunch is included and will be a variety of box lunches offered by Elephants Deli To see the schedule and bio's of the speakers click HERE
