CATHOLIC TEACHER EDUCATION

 Fundamentals 

 of Catholic Teacher Education: 

Adjunct Element or Generative of a Catholic Worldvie

 Dr Robert Doherty 

(University of Glasgow)

Thursday 17 February 2022,

 5.00 pm UK time (Zoom)

This presentation looks to explore the question of Catholic Teacher Education by attempting to develop a two-model schema. This representation is both descriptive of current institutions and points towards ambitions for a more expansive development of Catholic Teacher Education reflecting a higher project of teacher formation. In addition, the presentation touches upon the conditions of Catholic Teacher Education today in the context of recent Church history together with the wider historical sweep of mass education in modernity. Three propositions will be presented that seek to describe something of the central markers of the present in Catholic Teacher Education while orientating to the possibilities, demands, and perils of the future.

 Dr Clare Kilbane (University of Notre Dame, USA) will be the respondent.
