Teacher Training

The key to right decisions is frequently the word, "why?" From Christian educators we hear the challenge, "train to teach"! It is re-echoed in conventions, teachers meetings church services and everywhere. 

But why train to teach? Here are some of the reasons:

1. To clearly understand the truths of God.
   The servant of the lord ministers acceptably only with a clear-cut knowledge of the bible. This knowledge is obtained most quickly through planned courses.
2. To understand those you teach.
   The good teacher desires to see the lives of his pupils changed. Understanding people enables effective teaching that results in victorious Christian living.
3. To learn about the organisation with which you work.
   For effective work within an orginisation, the purpose and program must be understood. Understanding results in harmonious cooperation!
4. To learn biblical methods of communication.
   To reach people for Christ we must know how to communicate with them. The study of biblical examples of communication is the best way to learn.
5. To maintain freshness in teaching.
   New ideas and methods will spark any class. The teacher who is continually learning is a more challenging and influential teacher.
6. To make Sunday school a school.
   Parents demand well trained teachers in day school. they expect you to be trained to teach in Sunday school.
7. To expand your opportunities for service.
   The Lord desires to use you to the fullest of your abilities. Training will sharpen your abilities and enable you to grasp greater opportunities.
8. To serve the Lord better.
   The Lord asks for your best and promises to reward those who give their best. Training makes service more pleasing to the Lord.
9. To teach with confidence.
   Every teacher desires to instruct, discuss and answer questions with confidence. Confidence increases through proper training and experience.
10. To teach with success.
    Success in teaching does not just happen - it comes from a knowledge of the subject taught plus the use of proven teaching methods by a dedicated teacher.
