Perhaps our approach needs to be different!

Engagement, by its nature always brings the discussion back to Pedagogy. The notion of developing a model of praxis that encourages Student Engagement in the 21 st Century, is increasingly necessary.

The answer leads this paper to describe a praxis-based pedagogy.

For Sydney Catholic Schools, honouring this mission which sees the person of Jesus Christ as being central to our approach to learning, has been a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ‘learning online from home’ phase of the lockdown. The challenge was met head-on due to targeted professional development in areas such as eLearning over the last decade and a Sydney Catholic Schools Leadership Framework (SCSLF) that provided the agility required for the system and its schools to adapt. In the process, they were able to have thriving virtual Catholic communities that could excel in teaching and learning, albeit online. Using the Religious Leadership lens of the Leadership Framework, hope and faith became important, as teachers, students and parents navigated their way through the pandemic.
