Do you have what it takes to be a super teacher? I do think\nthere are natural-born teachers, but there are also many tasks anyone can\nmaster if there is sufficient desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have used a number of suggestions to direct and encourage\nteachers who want to be super teachers. Here is one suggestion to get started:\nIf I gave you one sentence and no other help, could you create an entire thirty\nminute lesson plan around that one thought? Some of you could do a great job\nwith no further help. Some of you would get started on some ideas and then ask\nfor additional inspiration. Maybe you are one of the ones who is not sure where\nto start, or how to direct a lesson. Some of this depends on the purpose of the\nlesson. School and Sunday School lessons usually have different methods because\nof different purposes. Think about the goal of your lesson before you start to\ncreate the actual plan. What is the one main point you want to get across to\nthe students in this lesson? That\u2019s your goal. The poorest teachers are those who\nread or repeat pre-written lessons without calculating the needs of the\naudience in front of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is one way to get started: Think of a visual example of\nyour subject goal; this is where object lessons work best. Demonstrate sin in\nour lives by cutting open a bruised or rotten apple. It may still look good on\nthe outside, but the inside is useless for nourishment. Next, make an auditory\nconnection with your subject; let your pupils hear the goal stated, using an\nillustration if necessary. The good apple has been harvested right from\nthe main tree, without exposure to the \u201cworld\u201d of other apples slowing\ndegenerating in a barrel. Third, create a tactile application connection with\nthis lesson. Don\u2019t forget that tactile doesn\u2019t always mean craft. It can be\nacting, puppets, or other activities that are hands-on, which includes music,\ngames, or role-playing. These three simple steps can get you started on a great\nlesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most important in any lesson is feedback. Ask your students\nwhat they learned, why they should listen and how they should respond to\ntoday\u2019s lesson, and ask them to remember this for next time. One of the great\nsuccesses of the AWANA Program in instilling a heart for the message of the\nBible is that children memorize Scripture, not just clever sayings, poems, or\nwords from a coloring page, and repeat those Scriptures many times. If we hide\nHis Word in our hearts, it will guide our conscience against sin (Psalm\n119:11).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7939","eutychus-article","type-eutychus-article","status-publish","hentry","category-eutychus"],"yoast_head":"\n
