What does a Religious Education Credentialing mentor do?
The mentor, who has been specially trained by LREDA, helps to guide the participant through the Religious Education Credentialing program. Topics of conversation during a mentoring session might include: what to put in the portfolio; what type of professional development to pursue and where to pursue it; how to document previous, current, and future experience for inclusion in a portfolio; what books to read on the reading list; suggestion of discernment process for articulation of a personal theology or preferred pedagogy; serving as a sounding board for future direction in program or whether to seek additional credentials, etc.
