A Little More Information

This is a children’s book that was created by the Brothers in Spain to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the entrance into heaven of St. John Baptist de La Salle on April 30, 1719.

The drawings are by Mariona Brunet Bravo, and the text was put together by the ARLEP District Team for Lasallian Materials. The story is told by De La Salle himself, in language that children will understand and appreciate.

The original booklet has been translated into English by Br. George Van Grieken, FSC, with the permission of the Brothers who created it. Some additional text was added to the original story in order to provide further context for an English-speaking audience.

PRINT WURTH Special Education
John Baptist de La Salle and Special Education

This book was first published in 1988 but has been out of print for many years. It is a study of the Lasallian educational enterprises that were established by St. John Baptist de La Salle and the Brothers of the Christian Schools at St. Yon in Rouen, France. It was here that one of the first secondary school curriculums was developed, along with a facility for court-adjudicated youth (and even adults).

The book provides many early principles, guidelines, and practices associated with educating unique and special students according to the same methologies and priorities that had already been effectively implemented at the elementary school level throughout France.

The book will be especially of interest to Youth and Family Service agencies, counselors, and others who work with youth with special needs.
