Setting the bar for Catholic education
Loyola’s Center for Catholic School Effective- ness has released the first National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elemen- tary and Secondary Schools. This landmark document offers standards to more than 7,000 schools across the country and will help deter- mine how well a school is fulfilling its obliga- tion to students, families, faculty, and staff, as well as to contributors, the Catholic Church, and the community. The project was devel- oped in collaboration with the Roche Center for Catholic Education at Boston College, and the National Catholic Educational Association.
Self-taught artists use the themes of heaven and hell not as concepts, but as visualizations that may be invented, drawn from pop- ular media, or influenced by religious upbringing. This exhibition features 165 works of art and is accompanied by a 36-page catalogue, available in LUMA’s Museum Shop for $12. HEAVEN+HELL is pre- sented in with Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. The “heaven” portion of the exhibition is at LUMA, and “hell” is on view at Intuit at 756 N. Milwaukee Ave.
This is Home FEBRUARY 3–JUNE 3
“This Is Home: Youth Document Life in a Nairobi Slum” is an exhibition of photographs taken by children who live in the Mathare Slums, one of the largest informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. Ten students, ages 12–15 years, were given disposable cameras to take photos. They had never held a camera before and were taking photographs for the first time. This exhibit contains a representative selection of their photos documenting life in the Mathare Slums. These students capture simple scenes from everyday life as well as the remarkable character and resilience of the people.
