Teaching Tips

Teaching Tips from Sister Kieran Sawyer:
I am actively involved in facilitating the Learning about L.I.F.E sessions in parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and across the country. As I prepare for each session and work with groups of various sizes and backgrounds, I often experiment with new ways to improve the content and/or the process. Listed below you will find PDF or Word files of new ideas and new handouts.
