Upcoming Event:
Teachers in Catholic High Schools
Come to California, June 9-12, 2013
Marin Catholic High School (located just north of San Francisco)
is hosting the fourth annual conference for teachers in Catholic high
schools. The program is designed for teachers interested in presenting
Catholic religious themes that are related to the normal material they present
in their high school classes.
The two main topics that teachers, campus ministers, counselors,
and administrators can sign up for this year are English Literature, which is
the first track, and Science, with primary presenters in Biology and
Physics. Biology and Physics together
constitute the second track. There is also a third track especially for
administrators, and this track is supplemental to the other two tracks. That
is, each person who enrolls should sign up for either the theology track or for
the mathematics and psychology track. Administrators attend one of these
tracks as well as an additional one specifically designed for them.
The three-day seminar is specifically for high school teachers
and administrators. The goal is to
offer the teachers religious material related to the regular courses they teach
and also connected to the Catholic intellectual tradition. The hope is that the teachers will find the
material sufficient interesting and pertinent to their curriculum that they
insert some of it into their regular classes.

out the Substantially Catholic link on the left and register online HERE. Also take a
look at the brochure (available HERE as a download) which
contains short biographies of the presenters. In late March a more
detailed schedule of the sessions will be posted on this website. The
general outline of events is that the conference begins Sunday afternoon and
the academic sessions are held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
This
year this is a special public presentation by Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J, of the
Magis Institute, on Sunday evening, which seminar participants are invited to
attend.
