My name is Gilles Côté. I am a Canadian living in Ottawa. I am the webmaster of 4CatholicEducators.com and of its sister site Resources for Catholic Educators My background as a Catholic religious educator:      I taught grades 7 through 12 for 23 years in Catholic schools. Throughout those years, though I also taught a variety of other subjects, the bulk of my teaching assignments focused mostly on religious education.

     I was Religious Education Coordinator for a number of years in a Catholic High school in British Columbia. Over the years, I have also been involved in faith education in various ways at the parish level and in the larger community: in confirmation preparation classes, in RCIA as a catechist, in Baptism preparation sessions for parents, as facilitator in a faith sharing group, and as a member of a parish pastoral council. As well, for a number of years I was active in the Cursillo movement as a leader. As part of a COR team I also organized several weekend retreats for young adults.

     My educational background: B.A., B.Ph., Certificate in Pastoral Studies, Certificate in Theology. I am presently pursuing my studies in Theology as a part-time student and working part-time as well as Education Agent and Webmaster for the Canadian Association of Second language Teachers.
