Have an Effective Teacher Training Plan?

Share:

To effectively train your Bible teachers you need to PLAN:

Pursue

An effective teacher training plan requires that you actively head in that direction. You put time and effort into it. And, throughout the process you also wholeheartedly pursue after God and His direction in it.

Listen

An effective teacher training plan requires a two-way conversation between you and your teachers. Do not assume you know what topics and means of training should be pursued. Take time to hear their concerns and what they perceive to be their needs.

Assess

An effective teacher training plan requires that you step back and consider all that you have heard from teachers, observed, and perhaps surveyed. What are the priority needs for training? What resources are available to help meet those priorities?

Navigate

An effective teacher training plan requires that you find the best route to take in order to meet priority needs, matching resources to subject matter and means to learning preferences. Don’t assume everything will just fall into place and that teachers will follow through. You must remain at the steering wheel, figuring out how to get around obstacles and stay the course.

The CE Files Teacher Training Module Download from Ministry Tools Resource Center can help you with some of this.
