Drawing New Maps of Hope	This module invites educators to pause, widen their gaze, and rediscover Catholic education as a living constellation — a network of people, stories, charisms, and communities that shine more brightly when viewed together. Grounded in Pope Leo XIV’s Apostolic Letter, this mini‑module offers a gentle, reflective space to reconnect with: the deep tradition that shapes our identity the present moment with its challenges and possibilities the future we are called to co‑create with hope, courage, and imagination	Alice Dunlop
Jubilee Year of St Francis	This Mini Module will support you in engaging with the 2026 Jubilee Year of St Francis, a global moment marking 800 years since the death of St Francis of Assisi. The Jubilee invites Catholic communities to rediscover Francis’ witness of peace, simplicity, compassion, and ecological responsibility — themes that speak deeply to the mission of Catholic Education South Australia today.

Praying the Psalms	In this Mini Module we will explore the context and use of this well-known book of the Scriptures through discussion, videos and creative exercises. This Mini Module is both prayerful and educational as participants take a reflective journey into the Book of Psalms.	Dr Bruce Hulme
Let's Talk About the Liturgical Year!	This module explores the importance of the Liturgical year of the Roman Catholic Church. In this module you will: explore how the Liturgical Year recognises and celebrates the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. learn about the different foci for each of the Liturgical Year's seasons. reflect on how these seasons can be experienced both personally and within your school community. be introduced to some resources that may be useful for your school context	Sue Coghlan and Valeska Laity
Living Laudato Si	This Mini Module will support educators and leaders to engaging with the Living Laudato Si Podcast Series. As we know, the podcast is a four-part series with key themes including Wonder and Awe, Integral Ecology, Nature Play and Playing in Mystery and Ecological Conversion. Therefore, this mini module includes four sessions to unpack each of these episodes.	Alice Dunlop
Promoting Key Capabilities through Ecological Conversion	This Mini Module will support you to animate ecological conversion through CESA's Key Capabilities. You will learn more about ‘ecological conversion’ and 'the Key Capabilities Continua' and how to integrate these concepts into your teaching and learning.	Alice Dunlop

There will also be practical applications and some stories and tips along the way! This Mini Module is suited to secondary teachers/leaders.	Julian Nguyen
Assessment in Religious Education and the Crossways Performance Standards	The Religious Education Curriculum is the learning area at the heart of every Catholic school. As such, it requires the same rigour in learning and assessment as all other learning areas. In this Mini Module, you will discover: how the Crossways Performance Standards function to support quality assessment in Religious Education; and, how these standards help teachers to determine A-E Grades in the Religious Education classroom	Valeska Laity
Mark's Gospel in a Nutshell	The Gospel according to Mark is one of the tree 'synoptic' Gospels. This Gospel is short and action packed from beginning to end. It was written to be heard not just read. This Mini Module will explore the features of Mark's carefully crafted Gospel including his ministry of healing and preaching, major themes and the historical context in which he was writing. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus welcomes outcasts, offers forgiveness to sinners and casts out unclean spirits. Jesus uses the genre of parables to help people understand how they can participate in bringing about the Kingdom of God.	Kate Ordon
Matthew’s Gospel in a Nutshell	Matthew’s gospel, like the other 3, tells a rich and inspiring story about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Though based on Mark’s gospel, Matthew’s gospel is longer, adapting some of Mark’s text in interesting ways and adding material that is unique among the four gospels. His portrait of Jesus is also unique, along with Peter and the disciples. Matthew’s gospel also contains a wealth of teaching material which no doubt served to inform and encourage his community who were living out their faith in Jesus at the end of the first century in difficult circumstances. As you will discover it is no wonder that this gospel is sometimes referred to as “the Gospel of the Church”.	Kate Ordon
The World Behind the Text	Teachers familiar with the Crossways Curriculum will know that the recommended process for unpacking biblical texts with students is the 3 Worlds Strategy. The worlds ‘of the text’ and ‘in front of the text’ usually present no problems, but the world ‘behind the text’ can be more challenging. Importantly it is this ‘world’ that can help us to appreciate the full meaning and significance of the text, sometimes in ways that surprise or shock the 21^st century reader. This mini-module will explore some of the historical, cultural and religious factors that pertain to a range of New Testament texts and will enable us to appreciate them through the lens of Jesus’ original audience and the gospel writers’ communities.	Kate Ordon
Extraordinary New Testament Women	Whilst most people can recall the stories of many New Testament men – the disciples, John the Baptist, Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus to name a few - the stories of women are less well known. This mini-module focuses on the lives and accomplishments of a range of extraordinary women during Jesus’ ministry and in the early Church. Their unwavering faith in Jesus, and courageous commitment to his teachings, continue to inspire his followers, both men and women, today.	Kate Ordon
Let's Talk About Prayer	This Mini Module has been designed specifically for teachers who are new to teaching in Catholic schools, but it contains a lot of tips and resources that will be useful and relevant for all teachers in Catholic schools. In this Mini Module you will: learn about the different prayer forms in the Catholic Tradition, develop an understanding of what prayer is ( and what it isn’t!), explore different prayer strategies and investigate a variety of prayer resources.	Sue Coghlan and Helen McKeough
Crying Out!	As Catholic communities we know that we have a responsibility to care for our earth and for each other. In this mini module we will explore the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference Social Justice Statement 2021-2022 Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor. There will be a focus on what Scripture can teach us and what we can learn from the Wisdom of First Nations people as we continue the conversation and discern our response.	Sue Coghlan and Helen McKeough
Click - Consider - Collect Using the Crossways website Learning Design Builder	This mini module will explore the learning design process in RE. Participants will be taken through the learning design process step by step with tips and hints along the way. We will look at several learning design examples and explore how all three stages of the UBD learning design process work together to support high quality teaching and learning in RE	Marcia Burgess
Luke's Gospel in a Nutshell	Of the four gospels, for many people Luke’s is the most loved. This year the gospel readings at Mass focus on Luke’s account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. This course will provide an opportunity to engage with Luke’s account, to travel with Jesus from his birth to his final journey to Jerusalem and to ponder the significance of this gospel for ourselves and for our students. The course will briefly address the background to Luke’s gospel, articulate some of Luke’s concerns and major themes – and will break open a range of Lukan texts using the ‘three worlds’ strategy.	Kate Ordon
Unpacking Parables	Jesus was a master story-teller – and parables form the bulk of his teaching ministry. They are a distinctive literary genre - one feature being their ability to unsettle us - to challenge us to new ways of thinking and acting. This course will focus on a range of Jesus’ parables which address different concerns e.g. the nature of the Kingdom, justice, mercy and the ‘lost’. The ‘three worlds’ strategy will be used to unpack the stories – i.e. the ‘world of the text’ and the ‘world behind the text’. In particular, participants will be encouraged to engage with the ‘world in front of the text’ in order to make links with the hopes and dreams of students today.	Kate Ordon
Mighty Miracles	Each of the four gospels portray Jesus as mighty in word and deed. Sometimes his mighty deeds are called ‘deeds of wonder’, ‘deeds of power’ or ‘signs’. They are extraordinary events bearing religious significance - and invite us to faith. This course will examine a range of miracles – their distinctive literary form and what they teach. It will also address the background of the stories - what was happening in the time of Jesus and what was happening in the gospel writers’ communities many years later. Where appropriate the ‘three worlds’ strategy will be used to unpack the texts.	Kate Ordon
Dialogue is more than just a chat	Participants will explore Catholic dialogue pedagogy and the opportunities in the classroom. This will be grounded by relevant system documents, the Wisdom Strand of the Crossways curriculum, and a reading by Pope Francis. This mini module will look at pedagogical approaches that consider authentic dialogue, the richness of diversity, creating a culture of trust and how we navigate this to ensure the dignity of all.	Christina Jonas
A Deeper Dive into the Wisdom Strand	In this mini module you will have the opportunity to engage with the Wisdom Strand and understand its implications for curriculum design and pedagogy while exploring the cultivation of dispositions and how to create a climate for enhancing engagement, reflective practice and self-exploration. This will focus on going deeper in understanding the 'why' , the 'what' and the 'how' of the 'Wisdom' strand. A deeper dive into the Wisdom Strand will also explore the relationship between the CESA Key Capabilities and the Wisdom strand.	Julian Kluge
Christian Meditation - A guide to implementing this prayer and wellbeing practice into your classroom	In this mini module, you will be given an introduction to the “3 S” approach to Christina Meditation – Silence, Stillness & Simplicity. We will explore what preparations can set teachers & students up for success in implementing this prayer form as a regular practice in the school day/week. We will also discuss FAQ’s and trouble-shooting hints sourced from 50 schools that engaged with the CESA Christian Meditation Inquiry which ran from 2015 - 2018.	Jacinta Astachnowicz
