I just attended your first session of the catechist webinar series. I found it very useful and look forward to session two. Thank you and may God continue to bless this ministry.

If you are a subsitute teacher and dont have time to visualize yourself teaching or read the book ahead of time or overplan what is the best thing you can do when going into the class?
Pablo that is indeed a tough situation! I’d love to hear from other substitute catechists about their strategies. I would think that a lot of substitute catechists carry with them some “routine” tried-and-true activities and approaches that they can draw from at any time. Likewise, I think some of the reading strategies I suggested such as the Paired Interviews can work in such spontaneous situations where you don’t have time to prepare. Substitutes can also have some prayer experiences that they can bring in to any situation to engage students without preparation. Again, I hope we hear from some other substitute catechists or from DREs who rely on substitutes to offer some strategies from their experience. Thanks Pablo.
