    <info>&lt;p&gt;This webinar will be held live from 3:30 - 5:00pm on February 17th. Those participants unable to make this time will be provided with a link to the recorded webinar for later viewing. The link will be provided one day after the completion of the session, and for up to 3 months after the taping.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The early segment of this webinar will outline the seven aspects of spiritual life that CSEE's Pathmaps team focused on as both &amp;quot;doable&amp;quot; and important for students in schools: values and beliefs, finding meaning and purpose in life, the spiritual dimensions of our relationships (to one another and to the wider world), being intentional in our actions, the experience of awe and mystery, processing transformative events, and the progressive integration of the self.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second segment will address the issue of identifying areas, and setting goals, to focus on in a school community, and strategies for addressing these areas. Specific suggestions may be made for schools that have spiritual goals they are willing to share with CSEE prior to the webinar date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The third segment will look at tools available and other strategies for making progress in creating and nurturing the kinds of climates our schools long for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;About the Presenter&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;David Streight spent two decades as a teacher of religions and ethics in the independent school world. He was co-founder and co-director of Religious Studies in Secondary Schools, and the convener of CSEE's interfaith Pathmaps team, charged with developing activities for spiritual development in schools. He has wide experience visiting and working with schools with a number of different religious and denominational affiliations, as the host for CSEE's yearly institutes on teaching the world's religions, and as the past host for the teacher section of the Religion and Ethics Newsweekly website. David is the primary author (though helped my many others) of CSEE's spiritual audit form and of CSEE's recently developed Spiritual Climate Survey. These two instruments will both be discussed and made available to participants in this event.&lt;/p&gt;</info>

    <sidebar>&lt;h5&gt;&lt;em&gt;Being able to hear from other schools about their systems and problems was of most value to me.  I also appreciated receiving a formal framework for evaluating our system.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

    <subtitle>Developing, Maintaining a System</subtitle>
    <summary>&lt;p&gt;Academic Integrity has been a hot topic around the water cooler. Pressure, competition, and over-packed schedules lead even some &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; students to take short-cuts. A well-crafted honor code, council, system can address and even prevent issues of academic integrity.&amp;nbsp; This conference is for faculty and students involved in developing or maintaining their school's honor system.&lt;/p&gt;</summary>

    <info>&lt;p&gt;Teachers of religions and history leave our institutes with increased knowledge, new ideas for what to do in the classroom, and great lists of both resources and contacts.  This year's focus will be on Hinduism and teaching mysticism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em;&quot;&gt;This conference will begin at 5:30pm on June 21st, and end at noon on June 26th. A more detailed schedule will be posted closer to the event date.&lt;/p&gt;

After this introduction, participants will focus on the classic text, the Bhagavad-Gita. Using the Bhagavad-Gita as a primary text allows reference to both earlier times and to later important figures like Gandhi. The workshop will explore themes of karma-yoga and its relationship to dharma, the threefold dimension of reality, the value of this world, the foundations of temple Hinduism with its focus on worshipful interaction with the embodied forms of divinity, and the question Who/What is Krishna?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Native American Cultures and Traditions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Dr. Talamantez's first session will focus on studying particular native American Cultures and traditions and their relationship with their particular environment, notions of the dynamics of language and landscape, religious narrative, and conservation practices in indigenous traditions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adolescent Girls and Rites of Passage&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In her second presentation, Dr. Talamantez, using slides and music, will focus on puberty ceremonies in Apache and Navajo culture. These rites of passage may serve as a template for adolescent girls in mainstream society.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;This session will offer the &amp;quot;must know&amp;quot; basics to those who are relative beginners in Hinduism, in preparation for David Haberman's later work with us, but will also address aspects of Hinduism often unknown to more experienced teachers, and activities for the classroom that all can use.&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot; face=&quot;monospace, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot; face=&quot;'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 15px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This presentation will offer suggestions of texts can be used in the Islam section of the world religions course. The pieces offered are selected because they are &amp;quot;favorite&amp;quot; classical texts by well known authors like Rumi and Hafiz, and short enough that they can be used in a unit that does not have unlimited time.&lt;/p&gt;

Three issues will be addressed in this block of time, both emerging from recommendations by CSEE's experienced teachers consortium and CSEE's 2009 Institute. The first entails the mindset of the teacher that guides his or her way of presenting religious traditions: are other traditions looked at as inferior to one's own tradition? are religions presented as if they were static entities with set beliefs and practices unchanged by time? are all religions equal in all ways? How are religions affected by historical and political events? Etc. The second entails teaching religions through themes, such as pilgrimage, love, or art. And the third addresses ten issues that all teachers should consider as they prepare their syllabi. Participants are expected to finish the presentation with new thoughts about exciting new possibilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: 1em;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CSEE has returned to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ghostranch.org/&quot;&gt;Ghost Ranch&lt;/a&gt; in Santa Fe several times, as the food is terrific and the location magical.  Ghost Ranch is located 3 blocks from the historic Santa Fe Plaza, with many galleries, historic sights, and museums within walking distance.  Meals and accommodation are included in the price of registration.  Participants will have one afternoon and evening off to explore Santa Fe, and will be on their own for dinner that evening.  Participants have the option of sharing a double-occupancy room with two twin beds (will be matched by gender), or reserving a private room for $200 more for the week.&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;&quot; class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
