Calvin College
Making Sense of the Reformation, June 29 - July 17, 2009
This three-week summer institute for high school teachers, funded by the
National Endowment for the Humanities, will be held at the Meeter Center at
Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI. The institute will enable high school
instructors from across the country to engage with the best and most
accessible
scholarship on the sixteenth-century Reformation and to develop teaching
materials that help their students make sense of this important movement
and
its social, political, and religious ramifications.
The three key topics addressed in the institute will be belief systems as
expressed by the Reformation's different confessional groups (Catholic,
Lutheran, Anabaptist, and Reformed); practices (worship, church
discipline, and
instruction); and conflicts and resolutions (between civil and religious
powers, between different branches of the Christian church, or within
confessional groups). Participants will interact with each other and with
experts in the field and will build portfolios of aural, visual, and
written
primary sources to stimulate class discussion and enrich their students'
understanding of the Reformation era's significance.
Successful applicants will receive a $2,600 stipend and can receive either
CEUs or graduate workshop credits (for a fee) upon completion of the
institute.
