     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 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

    *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.

    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.

    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.

        Middle Leaders Professional Learning Opportunity: Teacher Leadership Program

        A school’s capacity to improve rests on the shoulders of effective teacher leaders whose roles extend well beyond the classroom.

        One of Australia’s most respected education experts, Gavin Grift, leads teacher leaders and middle leaders through a process of self-discovery as they grapple with the demands of teaching and leading within teacher ranks.  Leaders of Learning are particularly encouraged to register for this program which is open to any teachers in a middle leader role in their school.

        In collaboration with Teresa Cimmino and the CEO System Coaches – Learning and Curriculum, we are pleased to offer this three day professional learning experience in 2023 where middle leaders will learn how to lead meaningful collaboration, provide feedback to peers and overcome the complexities of leading both colleagues and students at the same time.  The program will equip participants with the knowledge and contemporary research-based ideas to use in their work with others.  Learning the skills needed to motivate, inspire and guide others sits at the heart of this program. 

        Attendance at all three days of the program is required.

        Description

        Limitless Possibilities is an innovative learning model and digital toolkit, underpinned by Catholic Social Teaching and framed through the CESA Key Capabilities, that empowers teachers, across primary and secondary years, to inspire students to act as social entrepreneurs, establishing social enterprises that purposefully engage with their communities to solve complex social, cultural and environmental problems. This model builds teacher self-efficacy and agency through engaging with intentional curriculum design aided by resources, a design thinking interactive digital toolkit, and targeted professional learning.

        This initiative is aligned to the SACCS Learning and Teaching Commitment: Pursuing excellence in learning and teaching and student outcomes across all Catholic schools in South Australia. Specifically, this initiative has been designed to support Catholic Schools to meet the following objectives:  

        2.1 – Students are using the Key Capabilities Continua to routinely reflect on and articulate their growth as a person, learner and leader.

        2.2 – Students have agency in their learning and can cite evidence of their growth as a person, learner and leader.

        Description

        The Rich Mathematical Approaches through Collaborative Inquiry is aimed at leaders and teachers in Years 3,4,5 and 6. This project aims to build teacher capacity in understanding mathematical knowledge involving place value across the mathematics curriculum sub-strands of Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. 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.

        Expression of Interest
        (Full details will be sent to applicants in Term 1, 2023)


        In 2022, over 50 CESA teachers completed the ACER PAT Data Driven Decisions course, that was coordinated through the Catholic Education Office.

        In 2023, CESA will again be providing sponsorship for the following staff, to complete this ACER accredited professional learning program:

        • Leaders of Learning (or similar), and
        • Staff participating in the Aspiring Leaders Program.

        Professional learning will be held in either Term 2 or Term 3, 2023 based on applicant interest.

        All resources and lessons will be available online, with most of the learning being completed in a self-paced format. ACER is currently exploring if week 1 can be completed in person. However, recordings will always be made available, and attendance is not mandatory.

        Staff members who are not in a Leader of Learning, or similar position, may still participate in the professional learning, provided costs are covered by your school. Cost without sponsorship will be at a reduced rate of approximately $440. Schools are encouraged to send more than one staff member.

        Proposed Program Structure

        Intended Learning Outcomes

        Participants will be able to:

        • analyse and critically evaluate a range of PAT data and reports;
        • identify teaching strategies that differentiate learning for different students/groups, and
        • use PAT data to target learning needs of different students and groups.

        AITSL National Professional Standards for Teachers Include

        Standard 5: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning, particularly Professional Standard 5.4: Interpret student data.

        Course Duration: 12 hours, over 8 weeks

          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.

          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.”

          UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING BEHAVIOUR MODULES       

          MODULE 2: POSITIVE CLASSROOM CULTURE – CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY

          (repeated 3 times in term 2)

          COURSE DESCRIPTION

          The neurology and psychology of behaviour and learning underpin the Understanding and Supporting Behaviour Modules.  Each module is a day of professional learning and can stand alone. However, they have been designed sequentially. The modules are aimed at early careers teachers but are not limited to them. The modules will be delivered sequentially across the 4 school terms. You are encouraged to attend all 4 modules.

          MODULE 2: POSITIVE CLASSROOM CULTURE – CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY (repeated 3 times in term 2)

          This module is grounded in an understanding of the neuroscience of childhood development and the neuroscience of childhood adversity.  The module will explore the typical brain development of early childhood, the different types of trauma and the physiological effects of childhood adversity.  With this foundation established, the module explores the behaviours that are consistent with childhood adversity.  It will provide a framework to understand what the behaviour is communicating and appropriate response strategies.

          *Please bring your laptop to the session

          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

            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.
