Sunday School teachers of all ages! Learn practical techniques that make your planning easier, your teaching more effective, and your students more interested in God's Word. Kim Dailey, author of Sunday School Sources at eBibleTeacher.com presents full-day seminars for Sunday School Teachers of all ages, focusing on practical ways to improve effectiveness and take the pain out of preparing lessons.

We Cover:

Levels of Learning:
What can students of different ages understand and how to we pull them to higher levels on comprehension? Specific techniques to know whether your class "got it".

Learning Styles:
People learn best in different ways. Teaching to those different styles can increase comprehension, prevent behavior problems, add variety, and aid the teacher in preparing lessons. You can incorporate these ideas into any class!

Preventing Behavior Problems:
How to define boundaries, pre-empt problems and effectively guide students toward better behavior.

Lesson Planning Techniques:
Specific tips and techniques that take work out of lesson planning and save your creative juices for the really important part - teaching kids about God! Tools to help you adapt your lesson activities, save valuable material for reuse, and utilize the digital resources available for your class.

Digital Resources:
Enhance your material with quality clip art, useful ideas, interactive media, and printable worksheets. We'll review the best Sunday School web sites and discuss some commercial products.

Making Your Own Material:
Samples of a multitude of class materials you can make at home with basic office supplies. Tips for getting the most of your time and money, and adapting the ideas to your class.

Hands On Practice:
We end the workshop with a hands-on session where you put into practice all the techniques we've discussed.
