Thanks to the folks who sent me some ideas about a student evaluation of the catechist. I’ve designed my own form which is based specifically on what we covered this year and on specific features of my sessions. Still, I’m sure that you can glean some ideas from this form to design one to fit your own needs. Your feedback and/or questions on the design and content of this form are welcome!

Reviewing and Renewing a Faith Formation Program
After more than 25 years in catechetical ministry, I started to look back on what was asked of me in five different parishes over those years. Some of the answers were to reorganize, create permanent records, minister to families, and all the rest of what we do.

Eight Ways to Review, Reevaluate, and Reenergize for the New Year
We catechists celebrate three new years with our classes: the start of the religious education year, the beginning of the liturgical year in Advent, and the new calendar year starting January 1. As we enter into the third of those new years, it’s a good time to review, reevaluate, and reenergize for the second half of the catechetical year. Reenergize with a reflective or imaginative activity. Take time to refresh your own outlook and look […]
Joe,
This is a great idea…God bless you…I plan on using this idea for my Confirmation class that we did with the high schoolers. Of course, our Confirmation is scheduled for Friday with the Bishop. We will see how many of our youth return on Sunday after Confirmation…:( Of course, I hope they all will and I will make enough copies for all 35 that are getting confirmed on Friday. Maybe I will give them to them at the reception and ask them to return them on Sunday. Thanks again, Jason.
Jason, congratulations on your students being confirmed! Let me know how it goes with the evaluation…best wishes!
