    Assessment in Religious Education and the Crossways Performance Standards


    The Religious Education Curriculum is the learning area at the heart of every Catholic school. As such, it requires the same rigour in learning and assessment as all other learning areas. In this Mini Module, you will discover:

    • how the Crossways Performance Standards function to support quality assessment in Religious Education; and,
    • how these standards help teachers to determine A-E Grades in the Religious Education classroom.
    Valeska Laity 

    Mark's Gospel in a Nutshell

    The Gospel according to Mark is one of the tree 'synoptic' Gospels. This Gospel is short and action packed from beginning to end. It was written to be heard not just read. This Mini Module will explore the features of Mark's carefully crafted Gospel including his ministry of healing and preaching, major themes and the historical context in which he was writing. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus welcomes outcasts, offers forgiveness to sinners and casts out unclean spirits. Jesus uses the genre of parables to help people understand how they can participate in bringing about the Kingdom of God. Kate Ordon 

    Matthew’s Gospel in a Nutshell

    Matthew’s gospel, like the other 3, tells a rich and inspiring story about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Though based on Mark’s gospel, Matthew’s gospel is longer, adapting some of Mark’s text in interesting ways and adding material that is unique among the four gospels. His portrait of Jesus is also unique, along with Peter and the disciples. Matthew’s gospel also contains a wealth of teaching material which no doubt served to inform and encourage his community who were living out their faith in Jesus at the end of the first century in difficult circumstances. As you will discover it is no wonder that this gospel is sometimes referred to as “the Gospel of the Church”.  Kate Ordon

    The World Behind the Text

    Teachers familiar with the Crossways Curriculum will know that the recommended process for unpacking biblical texts with students is the 3 Worlds Strategy. The worlds ‘of the text’ and ‘in front of the text’ usually present no problems, but the world ‘behind the text’ can be more challenging. Importantly it is this ‘world’ that can help us to appreciate the full meaning and significance of the text, sometimes in ways that surprise or shock the 21st century reader.  This mini-module will explore some of the historical, cultural and religious factors that pertain to a range of New Testament texts and will enable us to appreciate them through the lens of Jesus’ original audience and the gospel writers’ communities.  Kate Ordon

    Extraordinary New Testament Women

    Whilst most people can recall the stories of many New Testament men – the disciples, John the Baptist, Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus to name a few - the stories of women are less well known. This mini-module focuses on the lives and accomplishments of a range of extraordinary women during Jesus’ ministry and in the early Church. Their unwavering faith in Jesus, and courageous commitment to his teachings, continue to inspire his followers, both men and women, today.  Kate Ordon

    Let's Talk About Prayer

    This Mini Module has been designed specifically for teachers who are new to teaching in Catholic schools, but it contains a lot of tips and resources that will be useful and relevant for all teachers in Catholic schools. In this Mini Module you will: learn about the different prayer forms in the Catholic Tradition, develop an understanding of what prayer is ( and what it isn’t!), explore different prayer strategies and investigate a variety of prayer resources.

     Sue Coghlan and Helen McKeough
     Crying Out!  As Catholic communities we know that we have a responsibility to care for our earth and for each other. In this mini module we will explore the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Social Justice Statement 2021-2022 Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor. There will be a focus on what Scripture can teach us and what we can learn from the Wisdom of First Nations people as we continue the conversation and discern our response.

    Using the Crossways website Learning Design Builder
    This mini module will explore the learning design process in RE. Participants will be taken through the learning design process step by step with tips and hints along the way. We will look at several learning design examples and explore how all three stages of the UBD learning design process work together to support high quality teaching and learning in RE  Marcia Burgess
     
    Luke's Gospel in a Nutshell

    Of the four gospels, for many people Luke’s is the most loved. This year the gospel readings at Mass focus on Luke’s account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This course will provide an opportunity to engage with Luke’s account, to travel with Jesus from his birth to his final journey to Jerusalem and to ponder the significance of this gospel for ourselves and for our students.

    The course will briefly address the background to Luke’s gospel, articulate some of Luke’s concerns and major themes – and will break open a range of Lukan texts using the ‘three worlds’ strategy.

     Kate Ordon
    Unpacking Parables Jesus was a master story-teller – and parables form the bulk of his teaching ministry. They are a distinctive literary genre - one feature being their ability to unsettle us - to challenge us to new ways of thinking and acting. This course will focus on a range of Jesus’ parables which address different concerns e.g. the nature of the Kingdom, justice, mercy and the ‘lost’.  The ‘three worlds’ strategy will be used to unpack the stories – i.e. the ‘world of the text’ and the ‘world behind the text’.  In particular, participants will be encouraged to engage with the ‘world in front of the text’ in order to make links with the hopes and dreams of students today. Kate Ordon 
    ​​​​​​​Mighty Miracles

    Each of the four gospels portray Jesus as mighty in word and deed. Sometimes his mighty deeds are called ‘deeds of wonder’, ‘deeds of power’ or ‘signs’. They are extraordinary events bearing religious significance - and invite us to faith.

    This course will examine a range of miracles – their distinctive literary form and what they teach. It will also address the background of the stories - what was happening in the time of Jesus and what was happening in the gospel writers’ communities many years later. Where appropriate the ‘three worlds’ strategy will be used to unpack the texts.

     Kate Ordon
    Dialogue is more than just a chat

    Participants will explore Catholic dialogue pedagogy and the opportunities in the classroom.  This will be grounded by relevant system documents, the Wisdom Strand of the Crossways curriculum, and a reading by Pope Francis. This mini module will look at pedagogical approaches that consider authentic dialogue, the richness of diversity, creating a culture of trust and how we navigate this to ensure the dignity of all.

     Christina Jonas
    A Deeper Dive into the Wisdom Strand

    In this mini module you will have the opportunity to engage with the Wisdom Strand and understand its implications for curriculum design and pedagogy while exploring the cultivation of dispositions and how to create a climate for enhancing engagement, reflective practice and self-exploration.

    This will focus on going deeper in understanding the 'why' , the 'what' and the 'how' of the 'Wisdom' strand.  A deeper dive into the Wisdom Strand will also explore the relationship between the CESA Key Capabilities and the Wisdom strand.

     Julian Kluge

    Christian Meditation - A guide to implementing this prayer and wellbeing practice into your classroom

    In this mini module, you will be given an introduction to the “3 S” approach to Christina Meditation – Silence, Stillness & Simplicity.

    We will explore what preparations can set teachers & students up for success in implementing this prayer form as a regular practice in the school day/week.

    We will also discuss FAQ’s and trouble-shooting hints sourced from 50 schools that engaged with the CESA Christian Meditation Inquiry which ran from 2015 - 2018.

      Intended Audience

      Primary and Secondary Teachers
      who will be making assessment judgements about EALD learners' achievement
      and proficiency levels for the CESA EALD data collection

      Description

      (MANDATORY Component)

      Each school that will be submitting EALD data must have a representative who participates in the Assessment Moderation process.

      The purposes of the Moderation Activities are:

      • to provide assurance of consistency and reliability of teacher judgement of EALD, achievement and proficiency levels; it also provides descriptive feedback for participants, and
      • to provide dedicated time and space for collaborative or focused assessment.

      How the Moderation Process Will Work:

      • Collaborative clarifying assessment task for teachers with less than 2 year’s experience.
      • Inter-assessor reliability check - all participants, both onsite and remote participants.
      • Detailed procedural information will be provided to participants closer to the time.

      Options for Participation Mode

      You may participate onsite at the CEO (encouraged) or remotely (if you are unable to participate onsite), but teachers are only required to register for ONE option.

      ONSITE physical attendance at the CEO - the preferred and recommended option.

      • Face to face physical attendance at the Catholic Education Office on Thursday and/or Friday, 8.45 am – 3.30 pm.
      • This provides a collaborative or silent working space to focus on assessing your writing (or oral language) samples. 

      REMOTE (from school)

      • The remote option allows for you to be involved in Moderation activities (comparing assessments with your paired assessor) whilst remaining at your school. You are encouraged to facilitate assessment moderation sessions with your school-based colleagues.
      • Your participation time is flexible, as long as you meet each point in the timeline. 

      You will utilise the EAL Network Teams platform over the course of the moderation week to upload and compare language evidence.

          This session will focus on best practice for managing staff members throughout the probationary period and beyond in both schools (teachers and ESOs) as well as within the CEO. The employment is a relationship and as people managers we have a duty of care towards employees to commend them for the great work they produce but to also manage their performance accordingly when it does not meet the expected satisfactory standard. What you can expect to learn from this session:

          • Importance of managing employees during the probationary period
          • Best practice for managing staff during the probationary period
          • Performance Management best practice
          • Informal Performance Management Process
          • Formal Performance Management Process
          • Tools and Resources available on the intranet

          This session is recommended for Principals, HR Representatives, Managers within CEO and Schools more broadly.

            Cognitive Coaching Skill Builder - Advanced Seminar

            (One Day) facilitated by: Gavin Grift

            You know the power of Cognitive Coaching- the ability to grow thinking, empower self-directed learning, and foster genuine respect and dignity in professional relationships. But what if your practice could feel even more natural, more aligned with your unique style, and even more impactful?

            That’s exactly what this Cognitive Coaching Skill Building Workshop is designed to do.

            This one-day workshop will not only refine the foundational tools you've already developed, but expand your capacity to build success in others, lead through influence, and nurture cultures of self-governance and empowerment.

            Whether you're looking to refresh key capabilities or stretch into more advanced maps and tools, this session will meet you where you are - bringing your identity as a Cognitive Coach into sharper focus and supporting your growth in ways that feel authentic to you.

            The workshop content includes:

            • Reflecting and Planning Conversations: This workshop teaches you how to embed two important maps for guiding coaching conversations from the Foundation Seminar.
            • The Problem-Resolving Conversation: This workshop focuses on this more advanced map to help people who are stuck. 
            • Proficiency in the use of Cognitive Coaching Tools: This workshop helps you improve your skills by using four essential coaching tools: rapport, pausing, paraphrasing and asking meditative questions.
            • Refining Skills for using Data in Coaching Conversations: This workshop teaches you how to use data and questions to help people learn from information.

She has collaborated with Professor Lea Waters as a Visible Wellbeing (VWB) facilitator and coach and has partnered extensively with David Bott at the Wellbeing Distillery across a range of school communities.

            Growing Deep - Strategic Formation in your School

            A program for school leadership teams to use the Growing Deep- Resources for Enhancing Catholic Identity and Mission across Catholic Education South Australia suite to analyse, understand, strategise and lead the enhancement of Catholic Identity and effective formation in their schools.  

            The program will begin in August 2025 and run until mid-2026 (2026 dates TBA). Using The Provocations Guide and The Self Reflection Kit, leaders will identify a Catholic Identity and Mission (CIM) goal for their 2026 annual plan and using The System Strategies consider the practical pathways for ‘growing deep’ in the area the school has identified.

            The program is open to all schools but those who have received an Enhancing Catholic Schools Identity (ECSI) report in recent years may find this an excellent way to further utilise what they have learned.

            This professional learning community is a shared strategic and formational experience for school leadership teams to attend together. Members of the PLC will consider their own individual spiritual growth (My story), their strategic work in enhancing the Catholic Identity of your school (Our Story), and connecting to God’s mission that all people know themselves to be known and loved by God (The Story).

            This half day workshop will help you plan for, manage and film your own school videos. 

            Please note: This is not a hands-on, step-by-step workshop in video editing.

            Topics covered will include:

            • Video concepts and how to develop your story ideas
            • Identifying video content in your school
            • How to write your video storyboards
            • How to plan the logistics for your video shoot
            • How to run the video shoot
            • How to produce your video 
            • How to get the most value out of it on your various platforms


            Video is proving to be the most powerful form of marketing and PR for many organisations, including schools. Nothing sells better than showing the life of your school to current families and prospective parents.

            And video production is more than just filming and editing. The best videos start with a story that reflects your values and end with a wide reach to many people on many platforms.


            This half-day session will take you through video development:

            • Developing ideas for your videos that could be filmed internally
            • Planning and filming at your school to ensure you capture the right story and footage
            • Running a professional video shoot yourself
            • Strategies to get the most out of your video on your various platforms.


            While this workshop will greatly help schools without a video budget, it will also provide assistance to other schools in working better with outside agencies that provide video services.

            Facilitator: David Rawlings

            You'll be working with David who has 30 years’ experience in developing prospectuses for business, non-profits and schools, and 15 years’ experience working with CESA and helping schools to communicate with prospective parents and families.

              Teachers of EALD learners in Years 2 to 12

              A minimum number of 15 registrations is required, for this workshop to proceed


              Description

              The Learning English: Achievement and Proficiency (LEAP) Levels is the tool used by teachers to formatively assess the English proficiency of EALD students using written (and oral) language evidence from all curriculum areas. It is aligned with the Australian Curriculum Literacy progressions and allows teachers to identify what the learners know and what they need to learn next, and to monitor progress.

              Also, all schools that intend submitting EALD data for CESA funding allocations need to ensure that teachers who conduct EALD assessments have participated in relevant professional learning about how to use the LEAP Levels.

              This 2-Day Workshop will focus on written language and support teachers to:

              • know the structure and elements of the LEAP Levels 6-12
              • understand how language patterns make meaning in texts
              • identify language features in texts
              • confidently assign a LEAP Level and identify language goals.

              Preparatory work for the first session will be communicated to participants prior to Day 1

              This workshop will take place over 2 full days and the knowledge building is cumulative so participation at both days is required.
