This unique book, filled with over 100 checklists of ideas, serves two purposes - the first gives practical hands-on advice to teachers who are looking to improve in areas of their ministry. The second purpose is to help teachers and staff with ideas and activities to improve student/teacher relationships. Another big plus about this useful guide is...with just about every nugget of advice given on teaching, there is one scripture (sometimes two) that the teacher can refer to. The author wanted to stay close to the scriptures. These checklists of ideas parallel instructions and commands given by great teachers found throughout the pages of the Bible. They are filled with solid advice that any teacher can experiment with and directly apply in the classroom setting. This book is not intended to be an intense and complicated training manual for teachers. The style of the writing is very user friendly and the simplified text helps teachers with teaching methods and activities. Likewise, this book can be used for training teachers because of the advice and the accompanying scripture references. You will find a number of "Idea Starters" which are quotes about tried events or activities that were successfully achieved. The "Idea Starters" will help bring teachers and students together and strengthen the bonds between the two. In addition...to help with the teaching process, there is a section titled: "Teaching Comfort From The Scriptures". The topical headings cover a number of modern-day concerns people face, such as depression, anxiety, isolation, and others. Scripture references are given for these concerns. The scriptures can bring comfort to both teacher and students alike. So...there is a variety of information to equip the teacher with classroom instruction and advise, teacher/student activities, scriptures referring to biblical teaching, and scriptural answers to modern-day concerns.
