Teacher Development Website
By Tracey L. Hurd
Children and Families Programs Director, UUA
The Teacher Development website provides resources about teaching and learning in lifespan faith development programs. The deep generosity of religious educators has made it possible for us to draw on work developed within our congregations. The website offers tools to support pragmatic aspects of teaching in faith as well as tools to awaken the souls of teachers and sustain them in the quest for spiritually rich engagement. The website is continually updated, and we actively seek submissions. Please contact us at teacherdevelopment@uua.org for inquiries, suggestions, or submissions.
