This resource puts Catholic leadership and service-learning at the forefront of our teaching in Catholic schools. The Religious Education policy document places importance on Living a Moral Life and Living in Solidarity. These strands focus on conscience formation and imparting to children that each person is responsible for participation in society, to discern, and to freely choose their vocation and to make a contribution in the world. This resource focuses on the core teachings from these strands to help students build their skills and take action on the issues they care about, from poverty, to bullying, to the environment. It consists of a series of lessons and accompanying action projects that spotlight a different social justice issue that not only meet the Religious Education expectations but various Science, Language, Social Studies, Mathematics, the Arts, and Health & Physical Education curriculum expectations. Students engage in experiential learning through call-to-action projects. Students work and learn to become active and engaged citizens who will seek to create transformative social change. |
