Training on What They Teach, Not Just How

Share:

Training on Teaching TopicsBible teachers certainly need help on lesson preparation, methodology, and a variety of other aspects of “how to” teach. But, what about training on ‘what” they teach?

Teaching and discipling students in different aspects of their walk with God can be challenging as students can be at different places in their spiritual growth. Bible teachers will therefore benefit from help on teaching certain topics.

While you will not be able to train teachers on how to teach all subjects, certain topics stand above the others for inclusion in your training plan.

  1. Certain topics are what we might call spiritual disciplines. When students better master these subjects, it will affect other areas and enable them to grow apart from the classroom experience.
  2. Certain topics are at the core of living for Christ. When students better understand these issues, their everyday lives are affected.

Consequently, even when a lesson is on a totally different subject, these topics will tend to surface in the lesson, perhaps as part of the application or maybe in an illustration.

Following are some topics about which a comprehensive teacher training plan might help Bible teachers.

One of the links below each topic will take you to a teacher training worksheet on discipling students in that area. They are a part of Teacher’s Role in Discipling Students Toward Spiritual Growth series. The other link will take you to a page with other kinds of resources that might be useful in the training process.
