Connecting SEL frameworks with the Church's understanding of dignity, virtue, and the interior life.

Social-emotional learning has become a cornerstone of modern education; but for Catholic schools, SEL is not simply a program to implement. It is an invitation to go deeper. This session explores how the core competencies of SEL — self-awareness, empathy, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills — find their fullest meaning when rooted in the Church's rich understanding of the human person.

Participants will examine how Catholic anthropology, virtue ethics, and the interior life offer a transformative framework that both complements and elevates secular SEL approaches. Through practical examples and reflective discussion, educators will discover how to integrate these principles authentically across grade levels and subject areas, forming students who are not merely emotionally intelligent, but genuinely virtuous, self-giving, and oriented toward God and neighbor.

A practical and theological exploration of how AI tools can serve, rather than replace, the sacred mission of Catholic education.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping classrooms, workflows, and the very nature of teaching and learning, and Catholic educators are right to approach it with both curiosity and discernment.

Grounded in the Church's understanding of human dignity, creativity, and the irreplaceable gift of the human person, participants will explore how AI tools can enhance, rather than diminish, the sacred relationship between teacher and student. From lesson planning and differentiation to academic integrity and student formation, educators will leave with concrete, actionable strategies for integrating AI responsibly and purposefully.

Finding your footing, your faith, and your purpose in the Catholic school mission.

The first years of teaching are among the most formative, and the most demanding. For new Catholic educators, the challenge is not only mastering the craft of teaching but also discovering what it means to be entrusted with the sacred work of forming young minds, hearts, and souls in Christ.

Participants will explore the unique vocation of the Catholic educator, receive practical tools for navigating the real challenges of early teaching, and be anchored in the truth that they were not placed in their classroom by accident. Through reflection, community, and honest conversation, new teachers will leave feeling less alone, more grounded in their mission, and equipped to walk into Monday morning with confidence, courage, and a renewed sense of call.
