No One Is Useless: Dignity, Imago Dei, and the Daily Craft of Catholic Teaching

Description

Today we zoom in on the heart of Catholic education: every human life bears unalienable dignity. Drawing on a recent papal remark and the doctrine of the Imago Dei, Jonathan unpacks what this means in classrooms and staffrooms: how we speak, how we correct, how we form culture. You’ll hear practical ways to recognize Christ in the “hardest to love,” build a community that refuses utilitarianism, and keep Catholic identity at the center of school life.

You’ll learn:

  • Why Imago Dei is the engine of Catholic pedagogy
  • How language, expectations, and mercy shape a school’s culture
  • Daily practices to honor dignity—especially with difficult students/colleagues
