If you are looking for a practical tool to implement virtue education into the curriculum of your theological school, this nanocourse is for you.

You will be introduced to the site virtueducation.net that is designed to lead you through a practical, four-phase plan to nourish virtuous character. It is suited for both individuals, discipleship groups and formation activities in contexts of both formal and non-formal theological education.  It is light on theory and heavy on practice and can be adapted as a flexible tool to many settings.  It comes complete with a Group Leader Guide and a suggested 30-week plan.

You walk through the four phases, take a Virtue Test yourself and then share how you might use the resources of virtueducation.net.
