Words/phrases new hires may wonder about...

1. idea of primary purpose of Catholic school to form disciples and everything else is secondary
2. facilitating a powerful encounter with JC--what does that mean if I coach lacrosse?
3. promote growth in virtue? what's virtue?
4. sacramentality and incarnation

Is it possible in a secular culture to use our Catholic identity as a marketing tool so that Catholic identity is seen as an equally desirable or more desirable factor than things like sports programs, art/theater/music programs, STEM, etc.?

# data[].attributes.body
I like what Bill has to say about discipleship being a commitment and moving Ss beyond beliefs. How do we ensure new hires are on board when some new hires may not feel they are in a place spiritually to do that, to witness?

# data[].attributes.body
I like what Sarah said about bringing families in. Anyone doing anything out there with parent/guardian education or workshops or family nights that do this?

# data[].attributes.body
Like: the idea of taking control of the narrative and letting that overpower the popular culture's version of Catholicism. How do we make our story more public so that we CAN take control of the narrative?

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting--I never thought about the reality that incoming families wouldn't even know what an order is.

What is the difference between sacramental and sacraments?

# data[].attributes.body
Making the invisible visible. Yes! We do that through narratives, through metaphors! How else can we make Catholicism visible? What signs can people see on our campuses that lets them know they're at a Catholic school? What language do they hear that lets them know they're at a Catholic school?

The Fr. Jim Heft on pp. 2-7 would be cool to have new hires read and then do the Fishbowl. This accomplishes several things: 1) We model what we want to see in classrooms--get kids to develop their own questions, get kids to lead discussions 2) We model the philosophy of Catholic ed, which is to wrestle with questions and show that faith and intellectual pursuits are one and the same. I could see having new hires read this and then we have ONE guiding question like "To what extent are these characteristics of Catholic education relevant in a 21st c. educational setting?" And then, we would also have the new hires come up with several other questions. Then, they go into the fishbowl. That would also allow facilitators to know where to start with new hires in terms of what they know/don't know, are thinking/not thinking about.

One empty seat exists so that if someone on the outside of the circle is dying to say something, they can go to the chair and wait to be invited to speak by the group/fish. Fish in the circle are responsible for monitoring their own air time and inviting quieter folks to participate in a way that is compassionate and respects the quiet person.

Could you put the metaphor poster activity (hospital, garden, etc.) in the curriculum in the appendix?

# data[].attributes.body
Ask what two models best go/team together in a way that best represents Catholic education.

# data[].attributes.body
use the posters as a pre-assessment type activity and then post-assessment activity. Maybe ask questions that reflect your site like maybe if whole staff "which best represents are school right now?" Where would we like to be?"

These are good to support clarifying, synthesizing, making meaning.

Use with posters or butcher paper. Nice when you want to make meaning in small groups but maybe topic benefits from a quiet and reflective activity. (from EngageNY)

Another poster/butcher paper protocol for sharing/expressing ideas and being able to comment on others' comments and questions. Interactive. More noisy than Chalk Talk but similar strategy. So many variations of this.

Ron Ritchhart is a Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator at Harvard Project Zero where his work focuses on the development of school and classroom culture as prime vehicles for developing students' as powerful thinkers and learners. Ron's research and writing have done much to transform the educational landscape around the world.

Ron's newest book, co-auhtored with Mark Church, The Power of Making Thinking Visible, captures the effect making thinking visible practices can have on teaching and learning from promoting dispositional development to nurturing deeper learning and better academic performance. The book also introduces 18 new thinking routines that Ron developed, piloted, and documented in classrooms around the world.

Ron's book, Creating Cultures of Thinking, takes readers inside a diverse range of learning environments to show how teachers create classrooms where thinking is valued, visible and actively promoted as part of the day to day experience of all group members. Howard Gardner has called the book " a tour de force" for Ron's ability to seamlessly merge theory, research, practice and application together in a highly accessible and engaging manner.

His book Making Thinking Visible, co-written with Mark Church and Karin Morrison, has popularized the use of thinking routines to facilitate deep learning and high engagement. He and his colleagues are currently working on a second volume of Making Thinking Visible in which they will introduce a new set of routines and share what they have learned about the successful integration of thinking routines as a powerful teaching tool.

the story begins with Blessed William Joseph Chaminade's dynamic story of inspiration at Sarragosa (sp?)

# data[].attributes.body
feeling compelled, inspired, almost like he (Fr. Chaminade) couldn't resist God's call--there's beauty in this, in discernment and not denying that impulse. What does this look like in a classroom, at your school site, in our disciplinary practices in classrooms and deans' offices, in the board room, in the locker rooms, on the field, etc.?

A Marianist educator does whatever Jesus tells us to do.

I think it’s important for non-Catholic educators to understand they don’t need to be Catholic to pass on the values of Mary and Jesus: love, family, support, hospitality, etc. Embodying these values is inherently in the nature of humans.

I hope everyone made it home without incident. Thanks everyone for a great weekend immersed in the Marianist Charism and good conversations about how to make our schools better able to live Mary's Mission of bringing Christ into the world (special thanks to all of our hard-working presenters).
