Curriculum for a Quarter

Curriculum for a Quarter is an arrangement of items that are on the CLF web site by themes and age groupings for 10 week periods, such as the quarter of a year (October-December, January-March, April-June, and July-September.) The additional 3 weeks in a quarter can be used for celebrations in that timeframe, or for other activities developed by the family or group. The Broad themes generally follow those designated for the UUA Lifespan Faith Development curriculum:

• Unitarian Universalist Identity
• Jewish and Christian Heritage and Religions of the World, which influence faith development
• Ethical Development and Social Justice
• Spiritual Development/Life Issues
• There is also a section for Celebrations, arranged by quarter.

For each theme, there is material for the five age groupings:

• 3-5 years, Preschool-Kindergarten
• 6-10 years. Grades 1-5
• 11-13 years, Grades 6-8
• 14-18 years, Grades 9-12
• Adult

All of the material for each session is linked on the web site. The format of the sessions vary, because the original formats varied. The material is usually as it appeared in its original from on the site, in Between Sundays or in uu&me!, Quest “REsources,” for example. Some new sessions have been created specifically for the Curriculum for a Quarter. All of the sessions can be available in hard copy for CLF members.
