Aides are on a team with other aides and a leader who serve every week. Aides assist the Elementary Faith Formation Teacher with the session’s activities, materials, handouts, and discussions. They help with hospitality, welcoming students, and their parents, ensuring everyone follows the Elementary Faith Formation program guidelines, and returning children to their parents at the end of the session.
Elementary Faith Formation Lead Teachers work with a team of 1-2 aides who teach in our parish’s Elementary (K-5) Faith Formation program. A Lead Teacher is a person of faith who possesses a love for God, a love for children, and a love for parents. A Lead Teacher participates in our training and weekly develops a lesson plan. By creating the lesson plan the Lead Teacher ultimately designs and structures experiences for students and their families, helping them grow in their faith and spirituality.
