TO TEACH AS JESUS DID
An "Others" Centered Curriculum
Purpose
To give our students (tomorrow’s adults) a way to relate to the world that is not self-centered but rather “other” centered. These are the teachings of Jesus.
- All Saints Catholic Academy will embrace curriculum and pedagogy that reflects peace and social justice as well as stewardship, philanthropic teachings and servant leadership.
- Examples of such curriculum could include story problems that consider injustices such as child labor, race and poverty, the minimum wage.
- Students must be challenged to analyze injustices across all curricular experiences in an effort to increase their understanding and to develop a strong moral conscience.
- Staff members will complete a servant leadership assessment as part of their application process to assess their propensity toward this model. A commitment to servant leadership is expected from all ALL SAINTS CATHOLIC ACADEMY staff.
- Our curriculum will be reflective of the rich opportunities that the perspectives of peace, social justice, stewardship, philanthropy, and servant leadership offer.
- Parent educational and support programs are key components to our servant leadership approach.
- Teacher in-service will occur frequently to ensure that school visioning and goal setting are consistent and up-to-date.
