Thanks all, see you next time :)

@edu_ivers @StarkeyRE1 #SCSPEARL
Yes, but I'm a tad slow. Will save it for next time.

@jhteducator @StarkeyRE1 @neilsonedu #SCSPEARL Every parish has a different way of guiding the youth. Some do it better than others.

Slower pace... more time for prayer, more space...cleaner creation, homeschooling... more family time for building relationships, My hope is that post Covid might bring a new evangelisation. You never know. #SCSPEARL

A5. I have this hope that post Covid might have less challenge and more gain for Catholic Education. Explanation to follow! :)

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

@StarkeyRE1 @edu_ivers @CEO_RE Exactly what I was thinking. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

A4- If we can recognise God in eachother, it is easier to open ourselves to be a blessing to each other. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

@jhteducator a nice way of looking at it. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

A4: This comes back to made in the image and likeness of God. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

A3: We know what is needed but getting there is the difficult part.

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

@jhteducator #SCSPEARL It sounds obvious, but difficullt for many in this secular world.

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

@StarkeyRE1 Teachers need the faith in order to pass it on #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

A3; This is an interesting one. I was discussing this with new RE coordinators today. We talked about differentiating faith formation for staff. Especially for beginning teachers. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

In the Catholic School context, the standards also guide teachers in knowing the context and needs of the school, as well as the students. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

A2 Professional standards assists and guides teachers to become proficient and lead teachers. Don't we want this in a Catholic school teacher too. Helps them focus on the student as an individual learner. #SCSPEARL

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

@StarkeyRE1 combination of the Will and the Word.
I like this. Action inspired by scripture.

[Fiona Neilson @Neilson_Fiona]

Q1: In the primary setting we explain to the kids, "in our Catholic School we can know and love Jesus" A nice way of putting it. Also, using Jesus as a model for our lives. #SCSPEARL
