Integral Pedagogy - A Way Forward

Fr Norbert Menezes,  the renown secretary of Jesuit education in South Asia conducted a workshop for civics and moral education teachers at CAEC, Highland Road today. His topic, Integral Pedagogy, is basically a teaching model that seeks to develop more integrated men and women for others. It is a process whereby a teacher accompanies the students in their intellectual, spiritual and emotional development.
Fr Menezes took the extra step of arriving in Singapore a few days early to familiarise himself with various classroom situations. He also visited local families to be more acquainted with the local conditions.
The session will be for a day and a half with the concluding session tomorrow.
