Catholic Social Teaching Across the Disciplines
An interactive workshop presented by Creative Change Educational Solutions in partnership with Cliff Jackson, a theology expert in the Archdiocese of Detroit and a teacher at Gabriel Richard High School in Riverview, MI.

For Catholic educators, the principles of sustainability and social justice are found in Catholic Social Teachings. This workshop will show teachers and administrators how to integrate CST into any discipline in ways that strengthen, not dilute, critical thinking and real-world applications of learning. Tools, examples, and hands-on activities will support attendees to plan a curriculum makeover using a CST lens.

Sustainability and Social Justice
A Talk at the Sierra Club Huron Valley Group

The future is a story yet to be written, but in our ever-changing world, we feel uncertain about where the next chapters will take us. What would an alternative story look like, and how can our educational system help shift the narrative?

Award-winning educator and author Susan Santone, Executive Director of Creative Change Educational Solutions, will show what’s possible if we reorient education around sustainability and social justice.

When: Tuesday, March 20, 2018, 7:30 PM
Where: 1800 North Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105
