Digital Literacy and the Media Mindfulness Challenge​

Presenter: Sr Nancy Usselmann

This presentation reviews the awareness needed to live in a digital environment, that is, digital citizenship, privacy, internet safety, and our digital footprint. Understanding the digital environment, we can then integrate this with the Gospel values-based methodology of media mindfulness. Tools will be offered for establishing digital authenticity that is in line with our faith values for oneself and to use with teens and children. 
  
 Learning outcomes: Understand what is meant by digital literacy. Discover values-based tools to grow in digital authenticity. Learn the media mindfulness methodology.

Bringing the Bible Back: Using Culturally Relevant Media to Bring the Gospels to Life

Presenter: Dr. Amy Cattapan

In this session, participants will learn how to get middle school and high school students (and adults!) excited about reading and praying with the Bible. Participants will learn of a variety of Biblical fiction media sources (books, film, and TV shows like The Chosen) that can be used to help students pray with the Bible in a style similar to Lectio Divina. We'll also look at why culturally relevant media can help us better understand and empathize with Biblical characters. After learning of the research that supports using fiction with nonfiction, participants will take on the role of student as we walk through an example of praying with the Bible this way.

Lessons Learned Post-Covid and Flipping the Switch Back to Normalcy

Presenter: Jodee Blanco

This session explores the human component of covid-recovery for schools and re-acclimation for both the adults and students. Highlights include: communications strategies and techniques for getting back to normal with confidence and grace; SEL tips for teachers and principals; supporting the well-being of teachers; what we learned about ourselves and the school during the Covid crisis, and now, looking back at how far we've come, what we need to know moving forward. I'll discuss Expectation Management of parents and students, and also managing our own expectations in the new reality. Covid changed a lot. What changes will remain and what will return to the way it was before? How can teachers and administrators set healthy boundaries with students and parents after many of those boundaries got blurred during the transition to distance learning? How do we harness the future with renewed optimism and grace? This will be a powerful talk that celebrates the courage of every person in attendance and offers an exciting blueprint of action for the coming school year.

​Using Blended Learning to Promote Literacy in All Subject Areas

Presenter: Christine Navarro

The workshop will share the five essentials of reading instruction, building reading fluency and provide teachers with educational technology tools to use as they implement these five essentials in any subject area.

​Flipping the Switch: Shifting From Caring For Others to Self-Care

Presenter: Sherry Hayes-Peirce

​For nearly two years educators have focused on serving their students. As we move toward a new normal, now more than ever it is important to develop a daily routine that helps you dip into the well of self-care. In this session you will learn ways to practice self-care using online and old school tools.

​Calming the Nervous Parent in a Digital World--A Compassion-based Approach

Presenter: Jodee Blanco

The digital world is here to stay. Parents concern over social media and how their children are using apps or are being targeted by app-related bullying is more prevalent now than ever. We can't go back in time and discourage kids from screens and digital devices after our shared dependence on those very technologies during Covid. The secret to creating a kinder, more compassionate and civil atmosphere across the digital landscape is by inspiring students from within and engaging them as ambassadors at school and at home. When students are inspired, it sends a strong and healing message to parents. In this session, participants will learn creative approaches to flipping the switch on how students perceive and use social media, and specific communications strategies and techniques for including parents that brings everyone, the parish, school and families closer together.

​Catholic Meditation As the Key to Mental Health and Catechesis That Lasts a Lifetime

Presenter: Alessandro DiSanto

The live session would be similar to the sessions I have presented at C3 in the past, with updated post-pandemic data on the rise of mental health issues among Gen Z and research on the effects of a consistent prayer life of behavioral outcomes. The sections of the presentation are 1. Why people, especially young people, are leaving the church 2. What is seductive about the increasingly secular culture's invitation to "wholistic wellness." 3. What distinguishes Catholic mediation from secular meditation 4. How meditative and contemplative prayer supports mental health 5. How they create a strong foundation for catechesis 6. practical ways to get started in the classroom. The hybrid sessions would be 2-3 recorded trainings on actual meditative techniques that are the practical recommendations of the live presentation (i.e., Lectio Divina, the Examen, and potentially a meditation on the life of a Saint).

​Catechesis Beyond the Textbook

Presenter: Steve Botsford

Are catechetical textbooks still valuable? While there are benefits to using textbooks for catechesis, their use also come with challenges. This session explores the mission of catechesis, the limitations of catechetical textbooks, and how we might practically go beyond the textbook to achieve the best results for our students.

​Free and Easy Online Formative Assessment Tools

Presenter: Dr. Amy Cattapan

In this session, we’ll look at a number of free online tools for formative assessment so that teachers can make the most of their in-class instruction time. We’ll look at how to create and implement these tools as well as how to find pre-made assessments to save ourselves even more time! We’ll also look at options for how these formative assessments can be used in a flipped classroom

​Being Media Smart Citizens

Presenter: Sr Nancy Usselmann

This presentation will give teachers the tools to help families examine their media usage together and to become more media mindful. Media mindfulness is built on the foundation of critical inquiry, bringing one's values into conversation with the media messages. But what do we really value? Are those values congruent with the virtues? Virtues are habits of being that promote respect as the core of a happy life, a basic human foundation on which to build moral, faithful digital citizens with vibrant faith lives. Learning outcomes: Help parents discover how to talk together as a family about media use. Learn the Media Mindfulness methodology as a way of critically engaging with media messages and being discerning about our media choices and creations. Discover the virtues for a digital age. Help families create a Family Media Pledge together.

​Flipping the Faith Switch with Families

Presenter: Lisa Hendey

As we emerge together from the pandemic, many of us have noticed its devastating impact on the families we serve and on our parish communities. Together, we will discuss how we can re-engage families and individuals who for a variety of reasons may become disaffiliated from the practice of their Catholic faith. We will look at ways to reach out with the Good News of the Gospel and meet families where they are with a variety of creative faith formation resources. We'll focus on strategies for helping families grow their Domestic Churches while at the same time encouraging them to return to Mass and parish community participation. Finally, we'll look at "flipping the switch" on our own faith lives so that our journey to Christ may be strengthened and renewed, enabling us to better nurture those around us.

Zooming with PowerPoint for Religious Ministries and Evangelization

Presenter: Manny Delacruz

A little knowledge of PowerPoint is helpful but not necessary to attend class. Bring laptop with app already installed for a short workshop.

​A Funny Thing Happened on the Road to Tomorrow: How 2020/21 Has Reset the Course of Educational Reform

Presenter: Greg Dhuyvetter

For years education reformers (and speakers at conferences like this…including me)have been touting the coming changes to methods and delivery of traditional education. • The future would be crowded with digital tools; • Students would no longer have to come to a classroom to learn; • Time would flex to meet the need of students, parents, and teachers; • Educators would attend conferences via video conference rather than in person. The future was going to be so bright, and it couldn’t come quickly enough. Well. Then came March of 2020, and these dreams became reality, not over a decade, but over a long weekend, and the resulting utopia was anything but utopian In this presentation we will examine the dust of Education 2020 and begin to pick out what we learned and where we go from here SPOILER ALERT: There is a way.

​Flipping the Switch from Crisis to Confidence--How to Rebuild Relationships, Restore Hope and Start the New School Year Stronger Than Ever

Presenter: Jodee Blanco

Even the most resilient relationships may be rendered vulnerable during stressful times. In this presentation that is equal parts inspirational and tactical, I'll walk participants through how to use communications fundamentals and core Catholic values based strategies to strengthen the school’s relationships with parents, students and the community as a whole. Participants will learn the 3-Tenets of Emotional Credibility in Communication and how to apply them to renew everyone’s faith in each other, connect on a human level, and sustain that collaborative, open and honest atmosphere during the school year and beyond.

​Marketing y publicidad en la catequesis: ¡que atractiva catequesis!

Presenter: Dr. Gerardo Salazar

La catequesis ofrece recursos y formación que no dejan de ser un producto anunciable para las personas. Nuestra publicidad es de alguna manera el reflejo del contenido de nuestros programas catequéticos. ¿Es que acaso damos por sentado que la mercadotecnia no tiene nada que ofrecer a la catequesis? La catequesis y evangelización deben ser atractivos para las familias. En este taller aprenderás los métodos de análisis y estrategias de la publicidad y marketing que son aplicables y de beneficio para nuestra catequesis y evangelización parroquial.

​Realización de webinars catequéticos: ¡técnicas e ideas!

Presenter: Dr. Gerardo Salazar

El catequista es un maestro de la fe. Por tal razón, existe la responsabilidad de compartir contenidos del Evangelio y la doctrina católica a través de las emergentes formas de comunicación. Un webinar es un encuentro con el otro, aunque virtual pero muy real. En este taller aprenderás los elementos necesarios para construir un webinar catequético con el cual puedas evangelizar y catequizar utilizando las diferentes herramientas disponibles que están al alcance de todos.

Live Zoom Workshop: ​TEacher Observation and Evalution

Presenter: Dr. Elise Matson-Dite

This workshop will discuss the importance of teacher observation, help principals and school leaders plan for classroom observations, help leaders prepare objective feedback on classroom practice, and document performance concerns. The session contains practical ideas to help principals schedule their time to formally and informally observe teacher practice, and can help them as they develop improvement plans for teachers as needed.

Live zoom workshop: ​Change Management for School Leaders

​Presenter: Dr. Elise Matson-Dite

This session will discuss how school leaders can lead their staff through change by using the school's mission and vision to drive the change process. We will apply ideas about how to create a cohesive culture and use the skills of teachers and stakeholders by empowering them to lead change and move the school forward.

Live Zoom Workshop: ​Teaching Executive Functions Skills in a Neurodiverse Classroom

Presenter: Crystal Brooks

Neurodiverse classrooms as the norm in our Catholic schools. Students learn differently and some will need explicit instruction and practice to develop and enhance attention, memory. organization, sequencing, time management, and self-regulation skills. When we teach executive function skills within the context of our curriculum, and not as "one more lesson to plan," students have time to become intentional expert learners. Participants will learn how to embed these skills within their current lesson plans and curriculum, maintain data on the development of these skills, and consider resources and assistive technology to support students who may need accommodations and/or additional intervention in this area. This session includes active engagement of the participants and skills that can be applied the next day of school.
