If you were to ask people who have refused to
become involved in a teaching ministry their reasons for refusing
many will say their main reason is that they feel inadequate for
the task.
|
|
| |
Some will even say a child should not be evangelized
or cannot understand.
Even those who agree to take on the responsibility
(many times because of pressure or guilt)
are often frustrated with feelings of being incompetent.
|
|
The truth is good teachers
do not just mysteriously appear-they must be trained,
nurtured and developed.
The secular world rarely puts someone in a position of leadership
without first providing training.
|
Should we in Christian ministry do any less?
|
The Lord Jesus Christ devoted much of His
earthly ministry to training others. He knew that if His disciples were
to be adequate for the task before them, they would need to be trained-their
skills and abilities developed. At times He worked with them one-on-one,
other times as a group.
|
His training methods included instruction,
demonstrations and hands-on
involvement.
|
What kind of training do teachers need?
|
|
|
They need the basics-lesson preparation; how
to lead a child to Christ; why should we lead a child to
Christ;
|
|
discipline in the classroom, etc. They
also need ongoing training and resources so they can continue to
grow and develop as teachers
|
|
|
|
The resource of ideas in this training module
on teaching missions, music,
and memory work and review time
will encourage and strengthen your teacher's creativity.
|
Each teacher will receive a Super Seminars I notebook to use as
a tool to assist in supplying both the basic and ongoing training that
teachers need. The sessions are designed for 50-minute class periods,
but they can be adapted for longer or shorter teaching sessions. Sample
schedules are included to help you plan a weekly or monthly training
program, or to plan weekend seminars. Used in a weekly format, our notebook
provides enough material for a year of training.
Super Seminars II provides enough new material
for a second year.
|

as a teacher easier-
