Three churches joined together for a dynamic teacher-training session. Minister Bettie Williams, invited Dr. Tolbert to St. John Church Unleashed in Texas. Sister Ramona Johnson organized the training and invited other churches to participate. It's a smart way of sharing the out-of-town travel and expenses! And, a Continental breakfast welcomes participants in the morning following early registration. Here's how to schedule:
Sessions 1 and 2 are taught Saturday - 10 a.m. - 1 p.m;
Sessions 3 and 4 are taught on a subsequent Saturday;
Sessions 5 and 6) complete the training.
Note: For out-of-town travel, begin the first session Friday evening; follow up with Sessions 2 and 3 on Saturday.

WORKSHOP #1
Session 1 Christian Character: Answers the Question, "Are teachers modeling the character of Jesus Christ?" The training begins with a lively debate that sets the stage for an exciting day of training. Volunteers, teachers, and leaders will be challenged about their Christian character. Session 2 Essential Ingredients: Answers the Question: What are the main ingredients of effective teachers and how do we apply the 10 teaching principles that Jesus modeled? We'll examine 10 teaching principles modeled by Jesus and discuss how to apply them in our classes. Since He's the greatest Teacher, we want to teach the Bible just like Jesus! |
WORKSHOP #2
Session 3 Learning Channels: Answers the Question, "How do students prefer to learn?" Once we know how we prefer to learn, whether it's audio, visual, or kinesthetic, we're able to evaluate our students and design lessons that include each of the learning channels. We also decide which methods work best for each channel. Session 4 Development: Answers the Question, "What are the needs of students as children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and seniors?" Knowing the specific needs of different age groups is the key to teaching that is effective. From preschool to seniors, we'll discuss students' needs and identify methods and ministries that help students grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ. |

Session 5
Writing Objectives: Answers the Question, "How do we know when the student has learned?" Writing objectives that are measurable is the only way to know that your students have learned. Know the 4 components to writing objectives—amount, account, ability, and activity. You may be the next curriculum writer for your denomination, church, or ministry!
Session 6
Lesson Planning: Answers the Question, "How do we put it all together to plan an exciting lesson?" The best lesson is one that's well-planned! We'll learn Lawrence Richards' formula..."Hook, Book, Look, Took"...for a fail-proof lesson and the best teaching ever. In this session, teachers actually design a lesson that combines on all that they have learned in these sessions. Want to see more photos? Click here
