Our Vision!GraceSundaySchool.com
To develop a christian education program where sound christian teachers provide life-changing lessons to the
world with a deliberate emphasis on soul winning.
Learning Objectives:
I know where we are, where we are going, and how we are going to get there.
I understand the science of teaching
I can teach “Student-Centered”
I will use higher level thinking activities and ask higher level questions!
I asked myself a question...
What If......
People in your city are lining up at your doors
ALJC requests us to present our program at General Conference
Teachers both in churches and in schools around the world are watching our lessons to duplicate our best practices
Our Church could grow at a record breaking rate! 500
We could Reach further, Serve more, and Elevate higher!
WHY NOT?
We have the Holy Ghost!
What May look different?
Sunday school being taught at 8:00pm on a Thursday night
Children all over the world watching your lesson
Students presenting to you what they taught themselves
Students placed by knowledge and not by age
Greeters inviting guests to classes based on what they need rather than how old they are
Greater opportunities to receive the Holy Ghost every Sunday
Bus filled with 25-30 students ready to learn!
A physical building dedicated to teaching young learners
How do we get There?Slow but continuous momentum (AVOID BURNOUT)
Staying consistent with meetings, communication, technology
Maintain quality leadership and sharing best practices
Accountability: (effective teaching, student growth in learning and attendance, website updates, goal setting)
Organization Quality (Admin records, All dept. working together)
Evangelistic Intentionality (This does not just happen)
Having a GROWTH mindset and being flexible
What we do well!
Decorating Classrooms with purpose!
Welcoming our guest with a smile!
Every child is worth the effort!
Working together.....(Block Party, VBS, Christmas program)
Teachers praying with their students!
Preparing for lessons and putting in 100%
Items to RemedyMental road blocks / Adapting to change!
Insecurity and confusion between guest and members
Current physical layout not conducive for smooth transition
Lack of development and training
Not working with ALL departments.
Stress, fatigue, lack of motivation
Lack of communication and common goal setting
Heads Together
1) What are some things that may look different and what are some things you would like to see happen?
2) Name two ways on how we are going to reach our vision and what one thing could you do to help us?
The Art of TeachingSunday School
Science
The ART OF TEACHINGThe Art of Teaching is nothing new.....
Socrates, who wanted his students to question things.
Maria Montessori, who did the impossible.
Clara Barton, who served her students.
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, who inspired a nation.
Jesus, “The Master Teacher”, who saved us!
the Science of Teaching
The art of teaching is about understanding the importance of relationships; about delivering content and the applying pedagogy.
The science of teaching is about exciting research that examines what tends to work best in the classroom and the rigorous methodology of constant improvement.
What good Bible Scholars do
While reading scripture, you were....
Monitoring for meaning
Using and creating schema (visual images)
Asking questions
Determining importance
Inferring
Using sensory and emotional images
Teacher Centered Vs.
Student Centered Instruction
In teacher-directed learning, the teacher:
Decides the course goals & the content to be studied
Presents content to students in lessons
Sets exercises & assignments for study
Monitors completion and assesses accuracy of student work
Tests and grades student performance
“Hub & Spoke”
Teacher CenteredVs.
Student Centered Instruction
In student-directed learning, the teacher:
Teaches students to set their own goals and eventually choose what they will study
Teaches students the skills and processes involved in setting goals, making plans, and initiating action
Negotiates student proposals for learning and acting
Guides students through self-directed challenge activities
Reviews students’ assessment of their work
“Constellation”
Teacher CenteredVs.
Student Centered Instruction
Where do you fall on the spectrum?
Teacher CenteredVs.
Student Centered Instruction
Student Centered Design is an approach to education where students are active participants (rather than passive consumers) in the learning task.
Teacher Centered Vs.
Student Centered Instruction
Student set the learning goals
We process students how they learn
How did you apply your scripture?
Group seating and/or individual space
knowledge & experiences are shared by everyone in the room
Uncovering the ‘Big Ideas’
Searching for knowledge
Teacher set the learning goals
We process students how we teach
Can you recall your scripture of the day?
Rows of chairs are facing the teacher
Knowledge and experiences are only shared by teacher
Covering all the content
Giving knowledge
Teacher Centered Student Centered
Shifting to Student-directed learning
Students can be taught to:
think for themselves
work at their own pace
learn in their own way
choose their own goals
and design their own programs
“TDL teaches students about the nature of the
Holy Ghost.SDL teachers students how to receive the Holy
Ghost”
Less is More
Teach Less, Learn More
Extend Task beyond one class.
A teacher explains things so well that students understand
A GREAT teacher gets students to explain things so well that they can be understood! (This is how we reach the lost!)
