Upon registration, you will receive an email which includes an attachment containing further details and links to each module.

Title	Description	Presenter
NEW 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
NEW 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
NEW 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 21^st 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
*NEW* 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
A collaboration between ACRATH, Crossways and SACE 'Spiritualities, Religion and Meaning'	This is an opportunity to hear more about ACRATH, look at their Teaching Kits Resources, make connections with how this topic can be integrated in the SACE Stage 1 and 2 Spiritualities, Religion and Meaning course and make clear links with the Crossways Curriculum allowing students to develop skills, dispositions and Enduring Understandings that are informed and inspired by the Catholic Tradition.	Deb Lubatti
Overview of MITIOG principles	This module is a general introduction or refresher course to the Made In The Image Of God (MITIOG), Human Sexuality Curriculum. It is a mini- module and does not replace the mandatory 6-hour training course. It explores why a formal Human Sexuality Curriculum is necessary for today’s context, explores the protocols and the foundational principles underpinning the teaching of this curriculum in SA Catholic schools.	Tracey Lacoon and Deb Lubatti
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.	Sue Coghlan and Helen McKeough
Click - Consider - Collect 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.	Jacinta Astachnowicz
Comparing Apples with Apples Assessment in Religious Education and Crossways Performance Standards	The Learning Intentions for this Module are: Explore the 2022 document - Assessment in Religious Education Guidelines; understand the what, why and how of the Crossways Performance Standard; recognise the application of Performance Standards as seen in two Religious Education examples (primary and secondary) and investigate the Crossways Performance Standards to understand how to assess quality of learning in Religious Education: A-E	Marcia Burgess, Sue Coghlan, Deborah Lubatti and Bronwyn Ridley

Teachers will develop a deeper understanding of the mathematical proficiencies with a focus on reasoning and problem solving through exploring pedagogical practices of using open ended tasks and defining the traits of concrete to abstract.

This project will utilise collaborative inquiry, using student case studies, to empower teachers to analyse their school data and define actions to improve outcomes. Teachers will receive in-school coaching sessions to support them in ways they are implementing these new approaches.

This project will be delivered by CESA in collaboration with the University of South Australia’s Mathematics Faculty. Throughout this project, on behalf of CESA, the University of South Australia will be conducting pre and post surveys with school leaders, participants and students. This research will help inform future directions of Mathematics teaching and learning for CESA.

CESA requires 2 to 3 teachers per school, to engage in this project.

2023 Cognitive Coaching Facilitated by: Gavin Grift

In this eight day course leaders of learning will practice and internalise effective strategies to develop skills to support, coach and mentor others in their schools, to support the ongoing improvement and evaluation of professional practice.

Cognitive Coaching is a research-based model that will capitalise upon and enhances cognitive processes. The course is highly recommended for all schools who seek to build leadership density and leverage change through critical dialogue. This course aims to build capacity by:

Assisting improvement and evaluation of pedagogy in your school context

Providing you and your team with strategies and ways of thinking and working, with potential to improve learning outcomes for all.

Testimonials from leaders who have participated in this course affirm and highly recommend it.

“The Cognitive Coaching course was without doubt one of the best professional learning opportunities of my career. I would encourage leaders in our schools to consider this as an essential course for their professional development. The course was well structured with helpful strategies and real applications that could be put into practice. It developed a mindset of coaching which sits in a companion model, that is sitting alongside and supporting others in their formation and daily work, rather than just performance management. The eight-day course was packed with practical and interactive activities, superbly led by our facilitator.”   (Philip Donato, Head of Senior School, Saint Ignatius College)

Up to 40 places are available to school leaders for this unique learning opportunity.

Build a Crossways Learning Design!

REPEAT SESSION

APRIMs and R-10 teachers working with the Crossways Curriculum are invited to this full day, face to face workshop which aims to take a deep dive into the processes for designing high quality learning and assessment in RE.

Exploring contemporary assessment in RE
Unpacking the Crossways Performance Standards
Writing rich assessment tasks (including surface, deep and transfer learning)
How to use the Crossways Website learning design builder

The goal of the day is to leave with a completed Crossways learning design ready to go!

Facilitator: Sue Coghlan, Marcia Burgess and Valeska Laity

Date: Thursday 8 June

Time: 9am - 4pm

Venue: CEO Conference Centre, George St, Thebarton

Intended for: R - 10 teachers and APRIMs

System Accredited Module: Yes

Light refreshments for morning tea will be provided. We ask that you please bring your own lunch for the day or if you wish to buy your lunch there are places close by.

If you have any registration queries please contact Angela Brown or via 8301 6629.

Testimonials from teachers who completed this workshop in Term 1:

“It was so valuable to go to a PL where I’ve left with a unit plan.”

“I believe that all RE teachers would benefit from attending, whether they are new graduates or have had decades of experience.”

“The information and knowledge shared can easily be applied into other learning areas, not just in RE. This information is something I will definitely keep in mind as I plan for ACARA V9.”

“All (RE leadership) staff from our school are all on the same page now.”

“Engaging in the “Build a Crossways Learning Design” helped me move from surface learning to deep learning about the Crossways curriculum and assessment.”

“Having a day out of school to develop my contemporary learning design for my class supported me to be able to have enough time to build most of the unit and ask for clarification with knowledgeable others.”

“A positive outcome for me is that it has deepened my knowledge and skills with assessment and unit plans, but I also feel excited about teaching this unit, planning another and excited to be working together as a team at school.”

Workshop Description

Micro-credentials offer a dynamic and contemporary way of recognising learning. Micro-credentials can be constructed for learners of all abilities, with a focus on the skills that a student demonstrates. Micro-credentials can also be used to recognise staff professional learning delivered within your school.

The purpose of the workshop is to provide educators within South Australian Catholic Schools with the knowledge, skills and resources designed for CESA to be able to offer high quality micro-credentials to primary and secondary students. Educators will use digital templates developed for Catholic schools in SA, to construct micro-credentials that are high quality and consistent with the National Micro-credential Framework. This practical workshop will focus on transforming learning or projects already undertaken by students in Catholic schools, to become microcredentials.

CESA is partnering with Educonomy to ensure high level expertise and support for schools.

The workshop includes:

Exemplars of micro-credentials, built for CESA based on the feedback provided by Catholic schools.
Information about how to assess micro-credentials that is not onerous but achievable.
Facilitated discussion of the examples of micro-credentials that could be appropriate to offer to Upper Primary, Middle School and Senior Secondary students in Catholic schools.
Support from Educonomy at the workshop to begin developing micro-credentials contextualised for your school community.
Transforming learning or projects already undertaken by students in your schools, to be micro-credentials.
Ways to micro-credential professional learning for staff.

Morning tea and lunch will be provided

Rooms 7 & 8

CESA Conference Centre

116 George Street

Thebarton SA 5031

CESA’s SPiCE Program offers termly SPiCE Network Meetings for playgroup facilitators. These network meetings are an opportunity to engage in Professional Development and showcase examples of best practice.

Our Term 2 SPiCE Network Meeting will focus on our SPiCE Program Community Pillar, as we will hear from Maria Taylor (Educational Consultant), who will explore ways that nature can be at the heart of connection and provide a practical demonstration of how educators and playgroup facilitators might embed Aboriginal perspectives throughout their services and programs in playful, meaningful ways.

The session is guided by Dr Tyson Yunkaporta's book, ‘Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Change the World’ (Text Publishing, Melbourne, 2019) where he invites readers to imagine the place they call home and talks about how ‘being in profound relation to place changes everything about you – your voice, your smell, your walk, your morality.' (pg420)

Throughout the session, a focus on loose parts and natural materials will guide provocations and demonstrate how creative expression can be facilitated with simple invitations to play. This session will also showcase resources, books, routines and D.I.Y projects to bring nature play to life for early learners and their families.

Learn how to incorporate loose parts and artefacts into routines that support storytelling and the sharing of personal story.
Explore treasures from nature to consider what playgroup ‘all through the year’ could look like with resources, books and nature play ideas for all contexts.

Afternoon tea will be supplied.
