From Religion to Praxis: Incorporating Personal Understandings of Religion, Spirituality, and Faith into Teaching
Small, Jenny L.
Journal of College and Character, v16 n1 p44-49 2015
This article addresses the topic of teaching and how graduate students in higher education, as future faculty members and other types of educators, learn to support the faith identities of their future students. Through a series of guest teaching opportunities at different institutional types, the author shared her understandings of the spiritual lives of religiously and secularly diverse college students to master's and doctoral students in higher education/student affairs. In doing so, her aim was to help contribute to educating future educators on how to incorporate religion, spirituality, and faith in the college classroom and on the wider campus.
