We will explore concepts such as the general knowledge of the faith, liturgical life, moral formation, prayer, communal life, and missionary spirit to assist Catholic educators grow in their competency as spiritual leaders of the school.

This course will explore multiple lenses for viewing students with special learning needs in private schools. The course will begin by exploring the definitional and diagnostic issues in the Learning Disabilities field. Since Learning Disability is a label, which can be negative for students, the course will explore alternative ways of describing students’ special learning needs: learning style, hemispheric preferences, and Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences. The other side of special learning needs is the intellectual skills and gifts that these students possess. The course will conclude with a look at the giftedness of students with special learning needs.
