CTL1110 Holistic Curriculum 

The course focuses on curriculum that facilitates personal growth and social change. Various programs and techniques that reflect a holistic orientation will be analysed: for example, Waldorf education, social action programs, and transpersonal techniques such as visualization and the use of imagery in the classroom. The philosophical, psychological, and social context of the holistic curriculum will also be examined. 

CTL1106 Spirituality in Education

This course first explores the nature of spirituality. There is also an examination of how spirituality can be part of the school curriculum in a nonthreatening manner. More specifically, the course explores the nature of the soul and how the soul can be nourished in the classroom through approaches such as imagery, dreams, journal writing, and forms of contemplation. The arts and earth education are also examined in this context. Finally, the role of the teacher will be explored.
