Education conference shows ways to model Christ-like behavior

Last Friday, more than 400 educators from 23 Catholic elementary and middle schools in the Diocese of Buffalo gathered for a conference “Teach, Serve, Evangelize,” that focused on how Catholic school educators can model Christ-like behavior and help students become their best selves.

Organized by the Department of Catholic Schools, the conference included a Mass celebrated by Bishop Michael W. Fisher, and presentations from Adam Jarosz, founder and leadership coach of Righteous Co., and  Lisa Benzer, diocesan director of Faith Formation. Teach, Serve, Evangelize included sessions on reflection, goal setting, and the Eucharist. Teachers explored the profile of a Catholic school student as well as the profile of a Catholic school teacher as a lead learner and role model, discussed the six tasks of a catechist, and learned about the Eucharistic Revival.
