Abstract

Religion, as discussed further in the following research, is clearly not the focus of many people’s lives in our society today. In my opinion, younger generations should be taught Catholicism to develop a solid moral foundation at a young age. For my capstone project, I volunteered to teach a Religious Education (RE) class to 6th-8th graders in my local parish. Through the development of a more robust and engaging curriculum, specifically designed to teach the most profound concepts of the Church, I was able to further the cause of bringing Catholicism to these younger members of society. As a leader and mentor, I determined that through the utilization and understanding of self-awareness and audience awareness, emotional intelligence and creative thinking, I have been able to develop innovative solutions and achieve successful results to help provide these young people examples of positive values with which to follow.
