Introduction to Growing as a Catechist 2010, a webinar by Joe Paprocki & sponsored by Loyola Press.
catechistsjourney.loyolapress.com/ In this Webinar, Joe Paprocki invites catechists to evaluate their efforts this year in light of 7 critical tools (skills and qualities) drawn from his book The Catechists Toolbox. In this section, Joe Paprocki introduces the webinar and the importance of self assessment. At this time of the year, many catechists are coming to the end of their teaching schedules. This is a good time to pause and take stock—to engage in a self-evaluation in order to grow as a catechist. In this Webinar, Joe Paprocki invites catechists to evaluate their efforts this year in light of 7 critical tools (skills and qualities) drawn from his book The Catechists Toolbox. This Webinar will assume a very different flavor from the previous ones in that the focus will be on answering 7 poll questions (one for each of the 7 tools), resulting in a highly interactive and fast-paced experience. In the days following the Webinar, Joe will answer questions on his blog, Catechists Journey. If you would like to receive Joes blog posts by e-mail, click here. This free Webinar is led by Joe Paprocki, an eighth-grade catechist in the Archdiocese of Chicago with over 30 years of experience in pastoral ministry. Joe, national consultant for faith formation at Loyola Press, is the author of numerous books, including the best-selling The Catechists Toolbox and A Well-Built Faith.
