The Department of Religion at Wittenberg University is excited to offer a special four-day, on-campus summer workshop for K-12 teachers on the topic of religious literacy in today’s classrooms, June 6-9, 2023, in Springfield, Ohio.
Facilitated by Travis Proctor, assistant professor of religion at Wittenberg, and Matthew Hotham, assistant professor of religious studies at Ball State University, the workshop promotes public education and community outreach as it partners with K-12 educators in:
- Understanding the basics of religious literacy.
- Developing or refining lesson plans, class activities, assignments and other teaching products with religion in mind.
- Engaging in 20 hours of contact instruction over four days.
- Accessing individualized guidance and consultations.
"As part of the workshop, we are thrilled to announce that all participants will receive continuing education graduate credits, a small stipend, and free resources related to religious literacy."
Dr. Travis Proctor, Workshop Facilitator
