What is a Shepherd?
A shepherd is someone who looks after sheep. Shepherding is one of the oldest occupations in the world, with the earliest documented instances of shepherding appearing in Asia. At one time, these nomadic loners were a critical part of the agrarian economy, although changes in the way sheep are raised have made shepherds more obsolete. In particularly rugged, dangerous regions of the world, shepherds can sometimes still be found at work. Other herders of domesticated animals can be found, including swine, goat, and cow herds. In all instances, the herder is responsible for ensuring that the animals are kept safe and sound, and for managing animals belonging to multiple people, separating out animals as required.

Because children will rotate to a new station each week, they will not have the opportunity to develop a relationship with one teacher over the course of the year. Since such relationships are so significant, you will want to consider using shepherds in your program. A shepherd is an adult or older youth who will travel with the group each week to its station, providing continuity. It is the shepherd who knows the children by name. The shepherd is not responsible for teaching, but may take attendance, “check in” with the children each week, be an extra pair of hands in the classroom, and help in ways that the teacher asks. Shepherds might also be responsible for name badges for the class, which are particularly helpful as the group moves from teacher to teacher.
