Ed1: Online
You’ve reached the website for EL1515 online, to be taught during the second half of fall term 2008. This website is currently under construction, so please do not expect it to be finalized until the term begins in September. If you’re worried about what technology you’ll need, check out the requirements and then be in touch with me if you still have concerns.
I CAN tell you that we’ll be using the following resources:
To Know as We Are Known, by Parker Palmer
Fashion Me a People, by Maria Harris
Teaching the Bible in the Church, by Tye and Bracke
Boundary Leaders, by Gary Gunderson

Nurturing Faith (an Augsburg Fortress curriculum handout)
We will also work with some current curriculum materials, and you’ll begin to develop a portfolio using the educational leadership competencies.
The syllabus will shortly be available here, as will links to other course resources.

David Orr's essay . Links to Palmer . An interview with Robert Kegan . Another interview with Robert Kegan . Definitions of religious education and spirituality . Self-care inventory .
