Publicly funded Catholic schools are an enduring gift to our students and the province. By deepening our awareness of the dimensions of the special call to teach in our schools and the privileged role they play in our communities, teachers can better understand their place in Catholic education.

Teaching in a Catholic School is designed to acquaint participants with the most important features of leading learning in Ontario Catholic schools. Using online and constructivist learning principles, the course answers these key questions:

  • What is the story and mandate of Catholic education and why is it important?
  • What is our place in the Church as it interacts with the world? Why is this mission significant?
  • What is the Religious and Family Life Education for Catholic Schools? Why does it matter?
  • How can we serve the needs of students in Catholic Schools?
  • How and why do we bring curriculum to life?

This computer-mediated course enables candidates to complete their course work at their chosen location in their own time providing that assignments and activities are completed by the specified due date. This will be an engaging experience as we explore the foundation and underlying philosophy related to supports for English language learners in an online environment.
