The Settling In: New & Newer Religious Educator Training is an online learning experience comprised of three 1 1/2-hour webinars with reading and other assignments for each session. Full participation includes:

  • Online attendance at three one-and-one-half-hour sessions
  • Reading and reflection to prepare for each session
  • Submission of final evaluation within a week of the ending of the module.

The overall goals of this training are:

  • Create a shared learning community where religious educators can form supportive, professional relationships across distance and time;
  • Provide an overview of resources available to religious educators, including curricula and safety policies;
  • Inform religious educators of professional organizations and resources for professional growth;
  • Form a laboratory to explore COVID-19 adaptations for congregational life and religious education programs; and
  • Equip religious educators with resources to dismantle white supremacy in themselves and their congregations.

The synchronous webinar platform is Zoom.
