Creative Connections for Catechists from A to Z by Janet Schaeffler Pdf

Catechists have a lot on their plates. Teaching about the Catholic faith is not simple or easyand who knows this better than they? The best catechists have learned that ultimately all of their teaching centers around Jesus: his teachings, the sacraments, the Eucharistic liturgy, and all of our Catholic customs and traditions. These include Catholic Social Teaching. Jesus is at the heart here too, for all social teaching focuses on loving and serving others as Jesus does. Here Sr. Janet Schaeffler offers catechists creative (and fun) ways to focus on Catholic Social Teachings with those they teach (and their parents). By doing so, they are living their baptism as disciples of Jesus. And, she describes all this from A to Z, quite literally.

Creating Connections in Teaching and Learning by Lindy Abawi,Joan Conway,Robyn Henderson Pdf

This book explores the wide range of contexts in which research into creating connections in learning and teaching may take place. Creating connections can encompass making links, crossing divides, forming relationships, building frameworks, and generating new knowledge. The cognitive, cultural, social, emotional and/or physical aspects of understanding, meaning-making, motivating, acting, researching, and evaluating are explored as constituent forms of creativity in relation to such connections. From this exploration the authors identify varied connective contexts and means which include the learner, the educator, the organisation, and the relevant community. The crossing of divides, forming learner-educator relationships, bringing together diverse groups of learners, establishing networks and partnerships among educators, and establishing links between organisations and communities are all considered as connections which can be created by and within the learning and teaching dynamic. By examining the factors which help to facilitate and/or restrict the possibilities for creating connections in educational contexts, implications for and outcomes of learning and/or teaching arise from the connections created. The final chapter of this book will explicate the realisations that have emerged for educators and researchers working to create connections. These offer suggestions for future directions and enunciate what and how connections might contribute to both educational institutions and the broader society.

Theory and Practice in Social Group Work by Kenneth L. Chau,Marie Weil,Dannia Southerland Pdf

Here is an important look at creative ways to successfully blend theoretical knowledge with skillful intervention in social group work. Theory and Practice in Social Group Work represents leading works in conceptual development that creatively connect practice with theory and also reflect the current diversity of interventions in group work practice. The book calls for more carefully articulated connections between knowledge and action and maps a strategy for strengthening social work curriculum and expanding group work practice. Some of the areas discussed include group work in medical and health settings, group work with people undergoing life cycle transitions, and group work interventions with vulnerable populations. A wide range of possibilities for applying theories in group work situations are presented in this thought-provoking volume. Some specific examples discussed include group work interventions with persons affected by the AIDS crisis and persons at high risk of contracting HIV, a group model for the management of chronic pain, group intervention services for the homeless mentally ill delivered through a mobile outreach team, a bingo group in an SRO hotel, group work with adults molested as children, and a model of practice for work with minority populations and communities.
