making the Christ connection - research project begins

A small group of church school leaders are interested in working with me in beginning a research study to explore how church school leaders can help their students make the Christ connection in bible stories as well as in secular stories. A case study will involve teachers using a specific strategy that can increase knowledge and awareness of spiritual formation in children, youth and adults. This strategy is able to be used in any curriculum the parish currently uses. If your parish might be interested please contact me.
