How Lectio Divina Influences My Teaching with Liz Keenan
In this 20-minute video, mentor alum Elizabeth Keenan talks with Collegium Director Karen Eifler about how to use the ancient prayer form of Lectio Divina (sacred reading) for a few minutes before class in order to be able to focus on the often overwhelming topics she explores with her Social Work students, both graduate and undergraduate. Elizabeth also discusses bringing this mindful contemplation into her classes—in her own mind and spirit—to “read” her students as sacred and worthy of her best efforts. If you are looking for tools to make your own teaching feel sustainable and have the impact you and your students deserve, this is a worthy addition to your quiver.
