It provides suggested answers to the \u201cQuestions for Reflection\u201d located in the text, structured around five themes: The Teacher and the Mission of Catholic Education, The Teacher and Vocation, The Teacher and Faith Formation, The Teacher and Lived Witness, and The Teacher and Catholic Culture.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">There are many ways to lead professional group discussions. As you reflect upon the needs and dispositions of the faculty toward these topics, you can decide whether you want them to read the texts beforehand or together as a group, how much you want them to write, whether you want them to submit what they write, and how to elicit participation from all faculty assigned to partners or targeted groups. Mixing them up from their normal social groupings is a good way to facilitate faculty bonding. Completion of the full document question sets should provide between 4-6 hours of continuing professional education.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">Have participants annotate the text, then use their own annotations to facilitate discussion. If you like, you can provide them with guidelines for annotation, such as:<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p23\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i>As you read, highlight what strikes you most (use explanation points or an underline). What is new to you? Use a money sign. For what is unclear or puzzles you, use a question mark. Star a quote or section you like the most. Put a happy face near a passage that screams, \u201cThis is us! This is our school!\u201d Write an \u201cO\u201d (for opportunity) near a passage that makes you think, \u201cI wish I\/we did even more of this at our school.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">Ask them to be prepared to discuss these annotations with a partner or small group, and then have the partners or small groups share their primary reflections or highlights with the whole faculty.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Move about the room, engaging with the participants.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">The \u201cQuestions for Reflection\u201d are provided at the end of each theme in <i>The Call to Teach<\/i>. These consist of three types: comprehension, discussion, and teacher application.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Comprehension <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">Answers to these questions are found in selected quotes from Church documents or the narrative summaries. Encourage your teachers to go back into the quotes and slowly re-read them, even calling up actual source material if additional context is desired. This is an opportunity to form your teachers in the heart and mind of the Church as it views education, so take the time to slowly walk through each section to ensure clarity and understanding on the part of the faculty.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Discussion<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">These questions are written for open group discussion. Allow teachers to read and reflect on their written responses first and then call on volunteers to begin the discussion. Encourage participation by all teachers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"s2\">Application<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p21\">These questions are designed for personal reflection and are not necessarily for public discussion. Give teachers sufficient time to reflect upon each question and write a response.
