In this 10 hour course, you will learn how to teach using “God's Pedagogy” which is the only way to effectively teach the Faith. You will also learn best practices for teaching different age groups, how to manage student behavior, what steps you need to take in order to plan, and how to use the Catechism. After completing this course, you will have a teacher's permit in the diocese of Lansing, but not full certification. In order to achieve basic certification with the diocese, you must take the class on doctrine as well.

You may download the handouts and listen to the lectures online if you are unable to attend the class in person. However, you will not be certified unless you also call Professor Barbara Morgan and briefly discuss each session with her. You will also need to pay the appropriate registration fee if you plan to be certified. Anyone is welcome to listen to the course for their own benefit, but you must follow the steps outlined above in order to be certified.
