  • Before this lecture, how much thought had you given to how daily routines and rhythms can affect the way your students are being formed? How has this lesson made you more observant of the habits of your school and your own practices?
  • What do you think about James K. Smith’s idea of “human beings as liturgical animals, creatures who can’t not worship and who are fundamentally formed by their worship practices”? What worship practices does your school promote, both obvious and implied?
  • What are some areas Andrew suggests might need revisiting in a liturgical audit of a school? Do any of these need a closer look where you teach? How would you refine those areas? What are some areas you would add to Andrew’s list?
  • How did Andrew’s speech “Marked Not for Human Consumption” impact you? Did it bring to mind a particular student you know, or perhaps your own educational experience? Does it give you a clearer perspective on how daily experiences impact student formation?
  • In your teaching, have you ever erred too far on the side of imparting information, with not enough heart and imagination engagement? If you realized it, how did you implement changes? If you’re still working through it, what plans do you have to improve your habitus?
