SRE Teacher Review
In response to the outcomes of the review of Special Religious Education and Special Education in Ethics, the Diocese of Wollongong has developed a simple SRE Teacher Review process.
This process of self-reflection and self-evaluation, classroom visit and observation and post-visit discussion, is designed to assist Catechists (SRE Teachers) in further developing their skills in the classroom. It is a good opportunity for Catechists to be supported and encouraged in the important work they do. Catechist are visited by request of the Catechist or Parish Coordinator OR are randomly selected from the 650+ Catechists in the Diocese.
If you would like support in your classroom and would like the encouragement of a classroom visit, please don’t hesitate to contact your Parish Coordinator or your regional CCD Office (see Contact Us)
