This training will be facilitated by Adena Dannouf, CRE-AL, currently serving our congregation in Glen Allen, VA; Lauren Wyeth, CRE-AL, Faith Development Specialist and Congregational Life Consultant in the Mid-America Region; and Rev.

Our orientation for navigating the profession of religious education will:

• Explore interpersonal, professional, and identity-based relationships in our work;
• Introduce you to the Liberal Religious Educators Association, its resources and Code of Conduct;
• Supply you with resources for the work, including creating your own philosophy for religious education, models for understanding faith development, safety resources, and tools for dismantling systemic oppression;
• Introduce you to emerging programmatic resources; and
• Equip you with tools to navigate employment matters, professional development and credentialing.

This training uses a flipped-classroom model, where content resources will be available to you on UU Institute in advance of each live session.
