The CATE community is comprised of Volunteers, Members, Contributors, and Staff. In addition to these there are associated service partners who work with the CATE Centre to further the cause of teaching and learning that leads to transformation.
Volunteers
The primary way in which the general public supports the CATE Centre is through voluntary assistance. The CATE Centre itself does not offer educational services, but rather finds ways to support those who do. Volunteers help host events, publicize activities (e.g., through Facebook posts), raise funds, and perform a variety of administrative services.
Members
The Society is comprised of individuals who affirm support for the CATE Centre’s vision, values, and conviction that the Bible, as interpreted by the historic orthodox Christian community, is the final authority for truth and living. Each one must also be active in a local Christian church and demonstrate a record of interest in or support for transformational education, as promoted by the CATE Centre. At the annual meeting of the membership, the members, by simple majority vote, select a Facilitator to coordinate and organize activities and a Council to assist the Facilitator. The members also make changes to the bylaws, approve the annual budget, endorse a roster of activities, and appoint Scholars and Fellows.
Contributors
One of the goals of the Centre is to undertake and promote research related to the theory and practice of some aspect of transformational education. With this in mind, the Centre invites qualified individuals, designated as Contributors, to submit material for publication and distribution.
Staff
All staff are members of the Centre. Those who are paid are typically members of TeachBeyond or on loan to the Centre from collegial agencies.
