Course aim

This course aims to develop students’ knowledge, skills and appreciation regarding the purpose and role of Catholic schools in the education of children and young people in contemporary contexts. 

Course content

Students will further their understanding of the cultural contexts of students in Catholic schools and critically explore the philosophical and theological foundations of Catholic education. They will develop knowledge and skills regarding approaches to Religious Education, the Religious Education curriculum framework for Catholic schools in SA, and the broader curriculum in the Catholic school. The course also explores and augments skills for the teacher’s key role in curriculum design and leading learning as they critically reflect on their current practice in light of contemporary curriculum design theory.  Participants develop a curriculum design initiative that relates to their own professional context.
