Teachers and Catechists all have the same role in My Catholic Faith Delivered for their class - the Instructor role! Adding an Instructor to a class allows that user to manage the students in that specific class and view the students' progress. It also adds an accompanying Resource Kit that the instructor can utilize for lesson-building and more!
To learn more about the responsibilities and actions an instructor can take, please see the Teachers & Catechists section in this Help Center.
