Course Synopsis

In this class we will be exploring the practice of religious education in communities of faith with a particular emphasis on the nature of teaching and learning. In one sense, this is an "Intro to Teaching" course designed to give students an opportunity to practice teaching their colleagues and receive feedback on their attempts. Through the ongoing teaching and learning occasions, we will also have opportunities to reflect on questions of the design of educational environments (both embodied and virtual), different modes of learning, relational dynamics in classroom settings, and alternative forms of embodied and aesthetic pedagogy.
