BISHOP CHATARD HIGH SCHOOL

INDIANAPOLIS, IN-Bishop Chatard High School, a dynamic educational environment for young men and women with different life experiences, focuses on the success of each student and on the growth of the whole person.  A colleague’s recommendation led English teacher and department chair John Funk to The Art of Learning. “I hope to help my students recognize how useful a total learning approach to life will be, an approach that allows them to apply their skills to a variety of instances and experiences. I hope that this book will help them bring about change and help them to engage in social action.” John is asking his 11th- and 12th-grade students to keep a journal about experiences and thoughts that pertain to the text as they read it and encouraging them to continue to come back to the journal in times when they need to refocus or re-center.  He is also sharing the book with other teachers in his department: “It provides a great learning opportunity for all people, especially students and teachers,” he says.
