4 6 For this reason, Catholic educators need a formation of the heart : they need to be led to that encounter with God in Christ which awakens their love and opens their spirits to others, so that their educational commitment becomes a consequence deriving from their faith, a faith which becomes active through love apart from their theological formation, educators need also to cultivate their spiritual formation in order to develop their relationship with Jesus Christ. - Congregation for Catholic Education Teachers have a crucial role in the evangelising mission of the Church and in the personal faith formation of the youth they interact with. The CSYMA Teachers Evangelisation Network (TEN) seeks to provide a structured model of formation that supports in their vocation as teachers in Catholic schools. This is achieved through the CSYMAFourPhaseStaffFormationModel. focus area one CSYMA TEACHERS EVANGELISATION NETWORK PHASE ONE Teacher Renewal Experience: Porta Fidei.
