Today we visited two very different schools.
The first was the Mary Help of Christians College Division, where aspiring Catholic values educators learn theor craft. These students chose to study moral declination so they could feel closer to God, and chose this route over teaching a different academic subject for this reason.
We discussed many new educational techniques with them; activities like think/pair/share, ask 3 before me, and differentiated instruction. We even did a turn and talk with the students, and they really enjoyed it!
The second school we visited was the Don Bosco Technical School, part of the Mary Help network. The all male student body learns electrical wiring, machinery, and car repair among other vocations in a private Catholic environment. What made this school so interesting was that it was a religious technical school; we dont see many of those in the U.S.!
