What does it mean to be Lasallian?

The Spirit of Faith

The spirit of faith flows from a relationship of communion with the Triune God who wills to save all people by drawing them into a life giving communion with him and with one another In the Lasallian tradition, the spirit of faith is a spirit that allows one to:
discover Gods active presence in his Word, in men and women, in the poor, in nature, in history, and in ourselves; judge and evaluate things in the light of the gospel, search for Gods will in order to carry out his saving plan, unite ones actions to the ongoing saving action of God in the world and trust in Gods loving presence and providence when acting or discerning Gods will.

Zeal for the Integral Salvation of All

Zeal is the active expression of faith in gospel witness and service. It is oriented towards the integral salvation of persons, particularly the poor and the excluded. Zeal is the enthusiastic and total gift of self for the sake of the mission expressed in such qualities as gratuity and generosity, creativity and fortitude, compassion and commitment. It involves a preferential concern for the poor and the vulnerable. The desire to be of greater service to others conditions the quest for excellence and continuous self-improvement.

Communion in Mission Mission as Communion

Communion recalls the dynamic of association by which the first Brothers bonded together for the sake of the particular mission entrusted to them by God. Communion has four dimensions:
as a relationship with God, it is the source of all mission and ministry; as a way of accomplishing mission, it suggests the solidarity and collaboration that comes from sharing in one vision, one spirit, and one mission; as a way of relating to others, it suggests openness to all persons and the desire to be brother or sister to all especially those in need; as a goal of mission, it suggests the unity that comes through reconciliation between God, human beings and creation.

Social Distress has been noticed by the Church for a long time
Hence, by degrees it has come to pass that working men have been surrendered, isolated and helpless, to the hardheartedness of employers and the greed of unchecked competition. The mischief has been increased by rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless, under a different guise, but with like injustice, still practiced by covetous and grasping men. To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.

Pope Leo XIII

Rerum Novarum Pope Leo XIII, 1891

Social Distress has been noticed by the Church for a long time
according to natural reason and Christian philosophy, working for gain is creditable, not shameful, to a man, since it enables him to earn an honorable livelihood; but to misuse men as though they were things in the pursuit of gain, or to value them solely for their physical powers -- that is truly shameful and inhuman. the employer must never tax his work people beyond their strength, or employ them in work unsuited to their sex and age. the rich must religiously refrain from cutting down the workmen's earnings, whether by force, by fraud, or by usurious dealing; and with all the greater reason because the laboring man is, as a rule, weak and unprotected, and because his slender means should in proportion to their scantiness be accounted sacred. Rerum Novarum, 1891

Pope Leo XIII

The Purpose of a Business Firm in CST

human work is the key, probably the essential key, to the whole social question. Laborem Exercens, 1981 the purpose of a business firm is not simply to make a profit, but is to be found in its very existence as a community of persons who in various ways are endeavoring to satisfy their basic needs, and who form a particular group at the service of the whole of society. Centesimus Annus, 1991

Pope John Paul II

Major Themes from Catholic Social Teaching

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Human dignity Community Rights and duties Option for the poor Participation Economic Justice Stewardship of Creation Solidarity Role of Government Promotion of Peace
http://www.cyberfaith.com/witnessing/witnessing04.html

1. Human dignity
The person is sacred, made in the image of God.
"The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Our belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching." (National Conference of Catholic Bishops, Sharing Catholic Social Teaching: Challenges and Directions, Washington, DC: USCC, 1998, p. 5)

2. Community / Common Good

The fact that human beings are social by nature indicates that the betterment of the person and the improvement of society depend on each other.humanity by its very nature stands completely in need of life in society.
Vatican II, The Church in the Modern World

The social nature of the human person

Every man for himself, said the elephant as he danced among the chickens.
Charles Dickens

3. Rights and duties

Civil/political

Economic/social
Every person has a right to the basic material necessities that are required to live a decent life.

4. Option for the Poor

Remember the widows, orphans, and aliens. A necessary element of the common good

5. Participation
All people have a right to a minimum level of participation in the economic, political, and cultural life of society.

6. Economic Justice
The economy must serve people, not the other way around. People are more important than things; labor is more important than capital. All workers have a right to productive work, to decent wages, to safe working conditions; and they have a right to organize and join unions. People have a right to economic initiative and private property, but these rights have limits. No one is allowed to amass excessive wealth when others lack the basic necessities of life.

7. Stewardship of Creation
The goods of the earth are gifts. We hold them in trust, as stewards.
God destined the earth and all it contains for all people and nations so that all created things would be shared fairly by all humankind under the guidance of justice tempered by charity.
On the Development of Peoples

8. The Virtue of Solidarity

It is a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good; that is to say, to the good of all ...because we are all really responsible for all.
Pope John Paul II, On Social Concern, 1987

9. Role of Government
The state has a positive moral function. It is an instrument to promote human dignity, protect human rights, and build the common good Subsidiarity
As small as possible As big as necessary

10. Promotion of Peace

Peace is not just the absence of war If you want peace, work for justice.
Pope Paul VI, 1972, World Day of Peace Message

SERVICE LEARNING
* experiential or action-learning * a method by which people learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfullyorganized service experiences that...

* meets actual community needs. * in collaboration with the school and community. * provides structured time for a person to think, talk, and write about what he/she did and saw during the actual service activity (Sawyer, 1991).

* provides people the opportunities to use newly acquired academic skills and knowledge in real life situations in their own communities. * enhances what is taught in school by extending student learning beyond the classroom.

* Learning by doing must be performed in combination with critical reflection on experience. * helps to foster the development of a sense of caring for others.

Service Learning Components

personal insight

understanding social issues

application of skills

Guiding Principles
1. Students should have a voice in the nature of their involvement. 2. Service projects should address real community need in a manner agreed upon by stakeholders 3. SL project should include scheduled time for group planning and reflection before, during and after.

4) Service should be integrated into the curriculum. 5) Service projects should both affirm and expand a sense of the community and the cultural ideas of the server and the recipient of the service. 6) Specific student and community goals should be developed to guide implementation and to enable assessment to be an integral part of the program.

STEPS

Factors for a Successful SL

1. Careful planning 2. Placements should be reviewed. 3. Need for an involved volunteer coordinator in ensuring that placements are good for both students and the agency.

4. Providing time for and encouragement of reflection is critical. 5. Perhaps most important is providing opportunities for students to discuss challenges and rewards of their service experience and to get and give advice and encouragement.

 Service learning activities are extremely diverse:

homeless shelters / day-care centers promote recycling efforts tutorial services music and arts classes / sports & recreation entrepreneurial training capability building for NGOs rummage sale, etc.

Examples of Service Learning Projects Related to Business Course Content Entrepreneurship/strategy - students develop business plans for projects to benefit low-income communities. Management - students assist in the start-up of a new business. Economics - students develop and teach an economics seminar for middle/high school students.

 Management information systems students create a web site for a small business; track clients for an area agency. Accounting - students document and analyze operational procedures (purchasing, accounts payable, payroll, etc.) for participating organizations. Computer applications - students design web pages for NGOs

Reflection - a process by which servicelearners think critically about their experiences.

Getting Learning Out of

Serving

"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happened to him." - Aldous Huxley

The Reflection Process

What?
Report the facts and events of an experience, objectively.

So What?
Analyze the experience.

Now What?
Consider the future impact of the experience on you and the community.

Journal Writing Process

What is a journal?
- a record of meaningful events, thoughts, feelings, interpretations and ideas. - In this class, your journal will be focused on the following:
service experiences and the learning you gain from the experience Reflections on class discussions/lectures/readings

Journal is not a diary only. Entries / events you experienced and their effects as springboards Delving beyond the experiences, events and emotions to discover what more essential teachings life holds for you.

Why must you keep a Service-Learning Journal? 1. To practice the writing process 2. To analyze service situations 3. To articulate your own reactions to your service experience 4. To record the learning you gain & document progress toward learning objective 5. To develop recommendations for action or change

What Should I Write in My Journal?

Use the journal as a time to meditate on what you've seen, felt, and experienced, and which aspects of the volunteer experience continues to excite, trouble, impress, or unnerve you.

Honesty as the most important

ingredient Not a work log of tasks, events, times and dates.

- Write freely.
Grammar/spelling should not be stressed in your writing until the final draft.

- Write an entry after each visit.

(If you can't write a full entry, jot down random thoughts, images ,etc. which you can come back to a day or two later and expand on.)

Structuring Your Journal Entries

1. FACTS What happened? What did you see? What did you do? 2. INTERPRETATION What stood out this week? Comments & reactions? Where could this be coming from? What assumptions on your part affected your observations? 3. CONNECTION TO CLASS How can you apply what you are learning in class to better understand your experience? Identify 2 or 3 links bet. Class material & service experience

The Three Levels of Reflection 1. Journal Writing as a Mirror (Reflection of the Self) - Who am I? What are my values? - What have I learned about myself through this experience? - Do I have more/less understanding or empathy than I did before volunteering?

 In what ways, if any, has your sense of self, your values, your sense of "community," your willingness to serve others, and your self-confidence/self-esteem been impacted or altered through this experience? Have your motivations for volunteering changed? In what ways? How has this experience challenged stereotypes or prejudices you have/had?

- Any realizations, insights, or especially strong lessons learned or half-glimpsed?

- Will these experiences change the way you act or think in the future? - Have you given enough, opened up enough, cared enough? How have you challenged yourself, your ideals, your philosophies, your concept of life or of the way you

2. The Microscope (Making small

experience large) - What happened? Describe your

experience. -What would you change about this situation if you were in charge? -What have you learned about this agency, these people, or the community?

- Was there a moment of failure, success, indecision, doubt, humor, frustration, happiness, sadness? - Do you feel your actions had any impact? - What more needs to be done?

 Does this experience compliment or contrast with what you're learning in class? How? Has learning through experience taught you more, less, or the same as the class? In what ways?

3. The Binoculars (Makes what appears

distant, appear closer)

- From your service experience, are

you able to identify any underlying or overarching issues which influence the problem?

- What could be done to change the situation? How will this alter your future behaviors/attitudes/and career?

- How is the issue/agency you're serving impacted by what is going on in the larger political/social sphere?
- What does the future hold? What can be done?

The projects biggest success was in moving the hearts of students. Sometimes, minds were changed as well, not by promoting a particular set of beliefs, but by a broadened exposure to the world in which we live.

Sample Journal Prompts

Organizational Entries
How did you go about looking for a SL project? What were some of the options you considered? What was the basis for selecting or rejecting the options? How do you feel about been asked to do SL?

Sample Journal Prompts

Reflective Questions
What do you think and feel while you work there? What are you learning about yourself? Does this experience confirm or challenge your personal values? What about your sense of community and sense of service?

Sample Journal Prompts

Reflective Questions
Do you think your actions had any impact? What more needs to be done? What would you change in this situation? How have you changed?

Sample Journal Prompts

Integrative Questions
Think about SL experience in relation to some of the themes addressed in class. Make specific references in these entries to ideas presented in your readings. What was the one ah-ha moment in class when it all made sense? What further research, reading, and exploration do I want to do with the issues presented?
