The Archdiocese of Denver’s first cohort of teachers to complete ICLE’s Catholic Educator Formation and Credential (CEFC) program.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education developed the Catholic Educator Formation and Credential (CEFC) program<\/a><\/span> to offer a robust alternative to state teacher licensure. The program prepares educators to infuse a deeply Catholic philosophy and practice of education into their teaching. It is an 18-month program of five integrated courses (The Virtuous Classroom, Pedagogy: Leading from Wonder to Wisdom, Trivium: The Mastery of Language, Quadrivium: The Harmony of Number, and Faith and Reason: The Foundations of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition) delivered through in-person workshops and distance learning.<\/p>\n

Katie Gillett, a participant in the Archdiocese of Denver’s first cohort of teachers to complete the CEFC program (seated, far right), delivered the following address at the CEFC graduation ceremony on March 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

“First, lots of gratitude is in order! Thank you to each of my peers in the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Cohort. The last year and a half has offered so many opportunities to learn with you and from you. Each person\u2019s insights in discussion have led our group to a deeper understanding of both the lofty ideals and the practical nuts and bolts of the Catholic classical education tradition. I\u2019ve been consistently inspired by everyone’s creativity in the classroom and the ways you care for your students. I value the community we\u2019ve built together, and I\u2019m proud to do this work alongside you.<\/p>\n

Thank you to our family and friends who cheered for our successes and commiserated with us on the hardest days. Thank you to our mentor teachers and principals who supported and encouraged us as we learned the daily rhythms of our school communities and put our learning from Saturday seminars into practice. Thank you to all the people whose dedication behind the scenes made this program possible: the staff of Blessed Sacrament and the JPII Center for hosting us, and everyone in the Office of Catholic Schools who took a risk to offer authentically Catholic teacher formation in Denver and worked hard to make this program a reality.<\/p>\n

Finally, thank you to our teachers: Dr. Aly Barnes, Elisabeth Sullivan, Sr. Mary Rose, Dr. Merril Roberts, Dr. Andrew Seeley, Erick Allen, Dr. Arthur Hippler, and many excellent guest speakers. Thank you for sharing your expertise and wisdom with us. Thank you for setting an example for us to imitate with your own love of the good, the true, the beautiful, and ultimately of Our Lord. Thank you for helping us to imagine broader horizons of excellence in the classroom, horizons that open to the transcendent and can be, in Tolkien\u2019s words, \u201can introduction to the mountains.\u201d The ideas and practices we\u2019ve learned in this program will certainly continue to bear fruit in each of our classrooms and, God willing, in the lives of each of our own students.<\/p>\n

As the first group of teachers to complete the CEFC program, it\u2019s fitting that our patron is St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, who was an educator herself and a woman of many firsts. She founded the first parochial school and the first women\u2019s religious congregation in the United States, and she is the first American saint to be canonized. It\u2019s also fitting that today the Church celebrates the memorial of St. Katharine Drexel, the second American beata<\/em> who also founded Catholic schools and worked as an educator, particularly in African American and Native American communities experiencing poverty and discrimination. As teachers in Denver\u2019s parochial schools, we\u2019ve inherited their legacy and their work. But my hope for each of us today is that we\u2019ll also inherit their desire for holiness, both for ourselves and for the students and families that we serve. Both St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Katharine Drexel are remembered for their courage, their commitment to the works of mercy and their creativity in carrying them out, and their profound love for the Eucharist. I pray that these virtues will take root and flourish in our own hearts as well, that we\u2019ll respond to God\u2019s grace with generosity and be filled with His charity as we continue in our own work as Catholic educators.<\/p>\n

The Lord has invited each of us into a vocation with a proven track record of making saints \u2013 St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and St. Katharine Drexel are just the beginning. In fact, there have been so many saintly teachers throughout history that in the Liturgy of the Hours, the Church includes a special set of prayers to celebrate holy men and women who were educators. To me, this is a great source of encouragement that God has truly called us into the adventure of sanctity through our work in Catholic schools. The Lord desires to work with, in, and through us every day in the classroom to transform the hearts and minds of our students. And He has given us many good friends for the journey, both in this room and in Heaven. So I\u2019d also like to close today in gratitude to God and the many saints who are interceding for us by praying a Litany of Saints for teachers. Some of these men and women are well-known; others are less familiar, but I\u2019m sure that they could become great friends to us in our pilgrimage to heaven. May each of us here someday be in their company.<\/p>\n

Lord have mercy on us, Lord have mercy on us.<\/em>
Christ have mercy on us, Christ have mercy on us.<\/em>
Lord have mercy on us, Lord have mercy on us.<\/em>

Lord God,
<\/span>You called your saints to serve you in your Church
<\/span>by teaching their fellow man the way of salvation. <\/span>
<\/span>Inspire us by their example:
<\/span>Help us to follow Christ our teacher,
<\/span>and lead us to our brothers and sisters in heaven.
<\/span>We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
<\/span>One God, forever and ever.
Amen.”<\/p>\n

In encouraging mankind to join him in his great project, he wrote:\r\n\r\nFor I am building in the human understanding a true model of the world\u2026the Creator's own stamp upon creation, impressed and defined in matter by true and exquisite lines. Truth, therefore, and utility are here the very same things; and works themselves are of greater value as pledges of truth than as contributing to the comforts of life.<\/em> [restrict]\r\n\r\n\"FrancisBacon held out to his countrymen the hope of gaining control of nature so that the effects of original sin could be ameliorated. But power over nature comes only through really knowing nature; and knowing nature, God\u2019s handiwork, is the greatest good to be gained from the great labors of painstaking observation, careful experimentation, and laborious thought.\r\n\r\nWhen I think back on my own education, if my encounter with science had been limited to what I learned in school, I think I would never have experienced the excitement Bacon tried to communicate. One benefit of watching too much television as a youngster was a strong sense of the marvelous in nature. Programs like\u00a0Wild Kingdom<\/em>\u00a0presented fascinating pictures of animals, their sometimes fantastical adaptive organs and unbelievable instincts. PBS shows like\u00a0Cosmos<\/em>\u00a0opened to me the incredible universe, with black holes and supernovae, galaxies and quasars, beginning a life-long interest in the discoveries of astrophysics. Other shows excited an appreciation for the good that science has brought about for man. I remember one show on the history of technological developments that explained how monastic improvements in irrigation technology helped bring stability to medieval economies.\r\n\r\nMy admiration for science was also developed by many books I read. I remember enjoying the\u00a0Danny Dunn<\/em>\u00a0series of science fiction\/adventure stories, where Professor Euclid Bullfinch always had something amazing he was developing that led Danny and friends into trouble and then got them out again. Another book that left a great impact on me was about great medical pioneers, which I read several times. I still remember many of its remarkable stories, like William Beaumont healing a man who had blown a hole in his stomach. The tube he placed in the stomach to save the man allowed Beaumont (with the man\u2019s permission) to observe the digestive process directly. In this way, he discovered the importance of organic chemicals in the digestive process.\r\n\r\nTo be \u201cscientifically literate\u201d means more than just knowing the vocabulary and the \u201clatest\u201d theories \u2013 it means caring deeply about the whole story science tells about the world and ourselves. It also means being able to understand how reliable the story is. The California standards never mention \u201ccritical assessment of contemporary theories\u201d as an aspect of scientific literacy. Students are so busy trying to cram definitions, laws and, above all, formulae, into their heads that they never raise questions such as, \u201cHow do they know all this?\u201d or \u201cAre there other ways of explaining these facts?\u201d or \u201cAre there difficulties with this theory?\u201d The failure to encourage questioning minds in students became glaring during the \u201cGreat Pluto controversy\u201d, when millions of our scientifically literate citizens were shocked that \u201cMy Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas\u201d was not Biblically-infallible! Nor do contemporary curricula explain to their students that the 25-year-old theories they are suffering through are likely already passe to those who are currently trying to make sense of the ever-more mystifying world of Nature.\r\n\r\nWondering, questioning, penetrating, praising \u2013 these activities of the scientifically aware mind need to be developed in students as much as, if not more, than their ability to understand and apply the formulae.\r\n[\/restrict]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[242,204,218],"tags":[239,240,191],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n2023
