//During your session if you need help with Theology please call **Ext. 1241**. The Religion/Theology teachers are to be a resource for all the other working groups. As other groups need assistance they will be able to call ext. 1241 to speak with the group of Theology teachers to request their expertise with Scripture, Social Justice, Vatican Documents, Catholic Literature, Film, Art, etc. The Theology teachers will also be available to go to a group that requests their assistance. "All activity in the Theology teachers group is secondary to being of service to our brother and sister teachers."//
 * Need to consult with a Theology Teacher during your session?**

 * Blank Worksheets//://**




 * Filled-in Worksheets (** **September 27, 2013)** - (Facilitators use this area to upload filled-in worksheets in progress - here's how):







**Instructions: **
These worksheets will be used to identify ways to infuse our Catholic Identity into our schools' curricula. It is expected that teachers will work collaboratively with their peers at the in-service to develop ideas for incorporating Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Identity and resources into the academic Standards for their area.


 * //Please note - teachers are NOT expected to fill out every block on the worksheet though it is expected that each teacher will be able to contribute at least 2 or more unique ideas //**** //for each quarterly submission by the group. Focus on the Content Standards but also be aware of these applicable Literacy Standards.// **

Due: End of day September 27th to the Facilitator. Facilitator will upload information as soon as reasonably possible to this page above (under "Filled-in Worksheets). Instructions for how to upload and insert a file can be found at this link :


 * Subsequent (Ongoing) Assignment: ** It is improbable that the entire task will be completed in one session so subsequent work will be required over the course of the year. Work on the initiative will continue throughout the year by teachers as they collaborate with their groups either online or in small area sub-groups (as coordinated by the Facilitator). Individual teachers will electronically submit additional ideas three more times during the year to their Facilitator at the above Contact Information. The due dates are posted on the home page.
