“The educational insights, resources and networking offered by NSCC are required resources for any religious organization looking for a language, content and methodology for truly effective moral and spiritual education. NSCC continues to plumb the depths of sound theory and practice in social and emotional learning, a dimension often lacking clarity in religious approaches to virtue, character, values, and spirituality education. Here is a one-stop shop for getting savvy about ways to teach the ‘heart’ as well as the ‘head’.”
