Explain The Seven Core Components Of A Spiritan School

219 Words1 Page

Personal development is defined as, “the conscious pursuit of personal growth by expanding self-awareness and knowledge and improving personal skills”. I believe of the Seven Core Components of a Spiritan School, personal development encompasses best what it truly means to be Catholic. The very core idea of being Catholic is always becoming better each and every day, and doing everything it takes in order to do so. This concept of personal development is what it means to be Catholic, and I believe that such a concept encompasses all six of the other Core Components of a Spiritan School. In becoming better people through personal development, we enhance our senses of the other Core Components of a Spiritan School. In order to bring the idea

    Equally important, the author describes the Christian life as a “dynamic faith journey” (p.224) which remind us that is not just a linear process but a never-ending lifestyle that is constantly changing. It is like the worldview, described in Why College Matters to God, “continuously subject to growth and revision as we encounter new people, ideas, and experiences” (Ostrander, 2012, p. 28). That is why she claims that even during the adulthood people can keep building their knowledge in a different but excellent way. Adults have built their personal perspectives of situations in life, so she emphasizes that during this process, there are going to exist changes and that is how people acquire new information. That is why Marmon reaffirms: “Adult learning is tricky; grown men and women often must unlearn

  • Spiritual Discernment and Career Counseling

    1958 Words  | 4 Pages

    Horton (2009) provides an inventory to assess one’s personal spiritual discernment approach. In taking this assessment, I found that I answered all of the statements with “very important”. Indeed, each statement played a large role in my decision making process with respect to my current vocational pursuits, as well as other aspects of my life. As such, I found it more fruitful to prioritize the statements. Once completed, the results showed that my top three were: Consistency with the character/ethics of Jesus, praying for wisdom to make Godly decisions and Consulting with wise counsel. Given my manner of completing the survey as well as the resulting answers, I originally placed myself in the “Bull’s-Eye Approach” (p. 8). My problems with the approach led me to alter my assessment, however, and go toward the “Relationship-Formation Approach” (p. 11).

    As a science teacher that is charged with teaching controversial topics such as evolution, genetically modified foods, and human impacts on ecosystems, my heart rate increases when religion is brought up within my own classroom walls. As I read the chapter, it was interesting to see that the focus on spiritual development has immediate ties into the positive habits of mind I want for my own young child and the adolescents in my own classroom. I can imagine if some of Baumgartner’s and Buchanan’s (2010) elements of spirituality--a sense of belonging, a respect for self and others, and an awareness and appreciation of the unknown--were of greater focus at all ages (both in school settings and family settings), the impacts of a stronger, more spiritual generation would be huge (as cited in Rivkin 2014, p.

    Spiritual growth has nothing to do with the number of years one has been a Christian, our position in Christ, that is whether one has accepted Christ or not ,our knowledge of the Bible, or God's love because God cannot love one person more than he loves another.( MacArthur, 2014). According to MacArthur, spiritual growth is matching my position with my practice. He further explains that our actions should be a reflection of our relationship with God. The church is supposed to guide its members into a deeper realization of Christ in all his fullness. Church growth is not measured by the number of people that attend every service, or the number of branches that a given church has it is the content that matter after a...

They researched several theories of personality development that posit a highest stage of development that parallels Maslow’s stage of self-actualizing, among the theories studied were the integrated stage of Loevinger’s (1976) ego development (ED), inter-individual self-understanding in Kegan’s (1982) model of the evolving self, universalizing faith in Fowler’s (1981) model of faith development,
