The Religion Curriculum Committee would like to thank several people for their generosity of time and talent in the formation of this Religion guide. Without them this process would have taken a lot longer and we appreciate their efforts on our behalf.

In particular, we would like to give a very special thanks to Bob Voboril and Fred Saab for their guidance and inspiration as we proceeded with this process. They truly were an asset as we moved forward with this endeavor.

We would also like to acknowledge the previous committee responsible for the religion curriculum guide published in 1996. Their guide was the cornerstone to the development of this new curriculum. We thank the previous members for their hard work and dedication to this process.

Some of the hardest working people on this guide were the wonderful staff at the Diocesan School Office. We especially want to thank Cindy Zimmerman, Ann Latta, and Barbara Kletchka for their hard work and diligent effort in the formation of this guide.

A final thanks goes to Bishop Jackels and Father Hoisington for their time and effort to ensure that this guide is as accurate and complete as possible for the formation of our students in the Diocese of Wichita.

We appreciate all that everyone did for us, and look forward to working with everyone in the future. May abundantly bless all of you!

Preface

Dear Catechist,

This new Religion Curriculum Guide is the direct result of a mandate from Bishop Olmsted, Superintendent, Bob Voboril, and Curriculum Consultant, Fred Saab. Starting with the mission of the diocese as our basic premise, this committee was to create a curriculum that aided teachers in the formation of disciples that incorporated parental support and united with the parish through stewardship. Basically, they posed this question: “How should we as educators in Catholic Schools prepare children for the world so that they can change it for the good of all humankind?” This is no simple task.

Using the old curriculum as a foundation, this committee has created, reinforced, and enhanced the religious curriculum as well as incorporated major publications from the diocese to create a very complete and thorough guide. Formation and Young Stewards in Formation are manuals and guides that have been intertwined into the new standards, benchmarks, and scope and sequence. Our goal was to make a guide that was teacher friendly, while at the same time challenged all students to respond to their call of discipleship. Within this call, students must form a relationship with and the Church. Students are challenged to seek the , grow to love it, and learn to live it. In today’s challenging world, students need to be prepared to respond appropriately to the dilemmas that our world presents, particularly those that are contrary to the truth.

This guide is built upon the truth. References are made to the Catholic Catechism and the for your convenient use. Also, any changes that have been made to the previous curriculum are a direct result of teacher requests and suggestions made in the fall of 2002. Additionally, teachers will find the STEWARD Test materials thoroughly covered to prevent problems and misunderstandings about questions within these documents.

To ensure completeness and accuracy, Bishop Jackels and Fr. Hoisington proofread and approved this document. Please know that much time, effort, and thought went into this guide. This committee hopes you find its contents helpful and useful as you try to fulfill your mission of spreading the of Christ.

May God bless each one of you!

Scope and Sequence (Written primarily for use in our Diocesan Catholic Schools)

Scope and Sequence – Explanation

Explanation of Scope and Sequence

Below is a list of the terms and their definitions that will help you plan lessons to meet the expectations of each new skill (per grade) in the Scope and Sequence.

“I”-Introduce: To “introduce” a skill a teacher must present material in a manner so that a student becomes acquainted with basic knowledge and principles necessary to enhance these building blocks for later application as understanding increases.

“D”-Develop: To “develop” a skill a teacher must have already introduced the material and now directs a stronger focus of the material as understanding increases. A teacher must build upon the basic knowledge, leading each student toward mastery of the particular skill.

“M”-Master: To “master” a skill a teacher must have introduced and developed a particular skill so a student can demonstrate proven ability and control at the application and impact levels. This control should include recall, but not only be limited to this basic level of learning.

“R”-Reinforce: To “reinforce” a skill a teacher must know that mastery has occurred. A teacher must build upon this mastery level of knowledge to improve application and impact abilities. Additional support and material that increases ability are at the core of reinforcement.

Additional Terms Found in Religion Guide:

I/D: This term signifies that a teacher must not only introduce a particular skill, but also develop that skill so the student, when ready for advancement, will be qualified to accomplish mastery.

I/R: This term signifies that a teacher must re-introduce a particular skill as to reinforce a students’ ability to maintain mastery. It could be that this skill needs to be reintroduced in a later grade as content changed as the student advanced.

I/M: This term signifies that a particular skill must be introduced, developed and mastered within the time frame of a course or subject. It is rare that this would occur or be frequently required in any grade.

Have I gone for days without talking with God? Have I doubted God's love? Have I forgotten to ask for His help and guidance? Have I neglected to thank Him?

Have I made what others think of me more important than what God thinks of me? Are material things and popularity the center of my life?

Have I used God's name carelessly, in anger, or with swear words? Have I been irreverent or disrespectful towards Him or someone or something that represents Him?

Have I gone to Mass willingly on Sundays? Have I listened to the readings and really sang and prayed, or have I played around and distracted others? Have I left Mass early or come late without a good reason? Have I done unnecessary work on Sundays?

I examine my relationship with myself.

Appendix H Integrating Values into the Classroom Curriculum

For a more credible approach to values education, research indicates that values need to be integrated at four levels of school life: Interpersonal Level: through the lives of staff/parents/students as they relate to each other and to the community they serve, Organizational Level: through policies and procedures that govern the school, Instructional Level: through the actual classroom instruction--explicitly and implicitly in each academic/subject area, and Family Level: through the reinforcement of the same value within the home. Below are some ideas for integrating the gospel values at the instructional level. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Value of Community emphasis on the virtue of Community in all areas of the curriculum • in science, the topic of conservation • in social studies, dignity of life • in religious education class, emphasis on the parish as a community • in literature, acceptance of cultures

instructional level - implicitly • organization of material to meet individual needs to provide success experiences • respect for the learning styles of students • structures that encourage cooperative learning, e.g., peer tutoring, small group work/instruction • a warm, inviting classroom environment

instructional level - assessment • Are attitudes and skills for community building - such as caring, communicating, cooperating, confronting - being developed in the classroom? • Do the classroom materials and bulletin boards present a positive image of all people in regard to race, creed, sex, various handicaps, etc. • Does the religious education curriculum include faculty and parental • involvement?

Value of Faith emphasis on the value of Faith in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • exposure to the tradition of belief in religious education class, e.g. Bible stories, prayers, creeds, worship, witness, service, history of the Church • in science, explanation of God's wisdom in creating the balance of the universe • beginning all classes with prayer • field trips organized to cathedrals, monasteries, convents, seminaries, etc.

instructional level - implicitly • studying the data of how faith develops so as to assist students to see God's plan in any area of the curriculum • in social studies, speak of life's events in terms of Christian belief Page 144 Appendix H • show reverence for each student as God's creation, despite talent or handicap instructional level - assessment • Does the religious education curriculum adhere to Catholic Christian tradition and current Church teaching? • Does the religion curriculum teach personal prayer and offer formation opportunities suited to the development of students? • Does the religion curriculum include methods that help the student develop in faith, form a mature/correct conscience, and apply moral decision-making skills? • Are Gospel values regularly and appropriately integrated in subject areas?

Value of Hope emphasis on the value of Hope in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • the effects of the Resurrection are taught in Religious Education class • in science, research efforts sparking new hope for those with illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes are studied • possibilities for change in deprived areas are discussed in social studies • hopeful themes are used in literature, art, music

instructional level - implicitly • warm inviting classrooms with signs of positive possibilities for all students • personalized instruction to meet individual needs • when appropriate, learning about the Paschal Mystery and its application to sorrows of daily life, e.g., when feeling rejected, when a friend is caught stealing, when families are having difficulties, etc.

instructional level - assessment • Is the content of curriculum relevant and appropriate? • Does it prepare students to live in the present and look to the future with a sense of hope? • Does the teaching/learning process prepare one to be a person of hope in imitation of Jesus Christ?

Value of Reconciliation emphasis on the value of Reconciliation in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • conflict resolution methods are taught in social studies and through guidance counselors • harmony is stressed in environment, creation in science • appropriate experiences and proper instruction regarding sacramental • reconciliation are given in religious education classes • studies on peace occur through content of literature and social studies instructional level - implicitly • techniques are used to express agreement or disagreement in all classes • students are taught to distinguish fact and opinion in all classes • dialogue between teachers and students takes place when differences occur

Page 145 Appendix H instructional level - assessment • Does instruction include knowledge and application of attitudes and skills necessary for community building, such as caring, communication, cooperation, confrontation? • Is the value of reconciliation taught in religious education classes?

Value of Courage emphasis on the value of Courage in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • examples of situations in literature and social studies which exemplify and discuss the relationship of senseless behavior vs. courage • personal courage or lack of it is emphasized in curricular areas, e.g., Jesus, generals, traitors, saints, founders, leaders, athletes • human development classes deal with aspects of courage preparation and support for leadership are stressed, e.g., choosing common good over personal good

instructional level - implicitly • individuals are taught how they can stand alone when their peers are performing contrary actions, e.g., focus on identifying feelings, clarifying values, seeking support systems other than peers • all curricular areas can encourage perseverance in completing tasks • students can be challenged to perform more difficult tasks, e.g., using • skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation rather than merely knowledge and understanding

instructional level - assessment • Does the curriculum include an examination of a personal Christian lifestyle -- patterns of consumption, conservation, sharing, leisure, and celebration? • Are social justice concerns integrated into appropriate areas of subject matter?

Value of Service emphasis on the value of Service in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • the service role is emphasized as it appears in curricular areas, e.g., priests and religious, physicians, government officials, police and fire personnel, as “community helpers” • religious education class recognizes the service given by missionaries in the Church • career education explores service professions

instructional level - implicitly • students attitudes are prepared for service in the community • the service of the teacher is recognized and appreciated • students are able to perceive the teachers' attitude toward service

instructional level – assessment • Does the school offer the use of a library to students and teachers? • Is service integrated in the content and methods used by teachers? • Are students taught to serve?

Page 146 Appendix H Value of Justice emphasis of the value of Justice in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level – explicitly • in religious education classes, justice is taught as the obligation of every Christian • justice issues are included with social science classes, e.g., racism, sexism, elitism, handicapped, aged, human rights • some themes in literature concern the poor and oppressed • science emphasizes stewardship of the environment • business education teaches fair and honest practices

instructional level – implicitly • classroom environment provides opportunities for choices, and the application of decision- making and problem-solving skills • varied cultural differences of students are accepted and appreciated • accountability for the value of justice is modeled in grading practices and • correction of papers and tests

instructional level - assessment • Is Christian responsibility in everyday living emphasized throughout the curriculum? • Do classroom textbooks and materials support Gospel values of justice and peace? • Is student progress and achievement in accord with potential?

Value of Love emphasis on the value of Love in all areas of the curriculum.

instructional level – explicitly • reverence for the sacred in religion, art, music • Christian attitude toward family life and sex education • respect for life stressed in science • social sciences stress reverence for others and appreciation of their contribution to society

instructional level - implicitly • mainstreaming, as appropriate • individual uniqueness honored • acceptance of all persons despite failure, misunderstanding • each student called by name, greeted daily instructional level – assessment • Does instruction occur in a climate of respect and acceptance of each person and his/her culture? • Are attitudes and skills for community building - such as caring, communicating, cooperating, confronting - developed in the classroom?

Page 158 Appendix J

Act of Contrition from Rite of Penance, par. 45 My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong, and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Nicene Creed We believe in God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, Begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: By the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Page 159 Appendix J

Act of Faith O my God, I firmly believe that You are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; I believe that your divine son became man, died for our sins, and that He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because You have revealed them, Who can neither deceive nor be deceived.

Act of Hope O my God, relying on Your infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Your grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.

Act of Love O my God, I love You above all things with my whole heart and soul, because You are all good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for love of You. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured.

Morning Offering O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart: the salvation of souls, the reparation for sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops, and all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month. Amen.

Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known, that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Page 160 Appendix J Angelus “Angel of the Lord” V. The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary… V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R.

That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. All: Pour forth we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

Magnificat Luke 1:46-55 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm, He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.

Hail Holy Queen Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, hail our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.

Page 161 Appendix J Come Holy Spirit V. Come, Holy Spirit. Fill the hearts of your faithful. R. And kindle in them the fire of Your love. V. Send forth Your spirit and they shall be created. R. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and other evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children, ages 3-12 years of age. It originated in 1954 with the founding of the children’s centre or “atrium” in Rome, Italy. Inspired by Montessori principles of education, it now extends to many countries, including Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Columbia, Argentina, Canada, and the United States. Atriums can be found in home, parish, and school settings.

The catechesis is based on the conviction that God and the child are in relationship. The child has a deep need to experience a special capacity to enjoy the presence of God. The task of the adult is to help the child live fully the encounter with God. When helped to do so, this experience becomes formative of the child’s whole person and generates great joy. “My body is happy,” Stefania said after praying with other youngsters.

By focusing on God’s unconditional love through the parable of the Good Shepherd, the Level I course is based on this conviction that the relationship between God and the child is special and must be nurtured. It is the foundation level training for the catechesis in general for the pre-school child in particular.

The Level II course, particularly aimed at the 6-9 year old group, focuses on the child’s need for moral guidelines, gift of imagination, and awareness of time.

Each level of this course will give you 105-140 hours of instruction, as well as the skills to create an atrium, a prepared environment, where the children will come to know God as their Good Shepherd.
