Heal a Hurting Heart - Preparing to teach
The 'Heal a Hurting Heart' Teachers have the responsibility for teaching the lessons and trainers will assist.
Meet with your Trainers prior to each lesson.
Prayer:
Prayer is essential. Pray for wisdom and divine
guidance, pray your children, their parents, the Teacher
and Trainers and pray for divine revelation. The main concepts or
goals are listed at the beginning of each week of our Journey
Praise and Worship:
Songs have been identified to match the topics being
taught, lyrics are available in big print to assist the children
to sing the song. A Music sheet is available if you have a musician
working with you. If you are unfamiliar with the song feel free
to identify other songs from your country or area that may be more
appropriate.
All materials including Lesson Plans, Visual Aids,
Activity Books, Music sheets and Music Videos can all be downloaded
from our Dropbox Download Index.
Review:
At the beginning of each lesson, review what you
taught in the previous lessons. Make sure the children have mastered
the concepts, practice and review before you teach new concepts.
Always review the Gospel Outline.
Memory Verse:
Scriptures are listed at the beginning of each lesson.
Encourage your children to memorize the Scriptures as found in the
Gospel Plan. Write or print these verses and place them on the walls
of the classroom. We suggest that you select the version of the
Bible you will use and use it consistently to teach the children.
Understand the goals and destination of
next week's Journey:
The goals and destination are listed at the beginning
of each lesson review them with the Trainers to ensure that everyone
understands the objectives.
Finalize Your Lesson Plan for next week's
Journey:
After you are familiar with the lesson, you may
choose to modify the lesson plan to better fit your needs and contextualized
the material. You may choose to include some of the optional teaching
activities provided. We suggest a team teaching, interactive approach
with all Teacher/Trainers, Trainers and students being involved
in the teaching of the session. Make sure all the Teacher/Trainers
and Trainers are clear about their teaching assignments. Teach them
the section of the Gospel Presentation for the next week's Journey.
Teach them songs or cadences. Practice any dramas or illustrations
that will be taught during the Journey.
Prepare Materials:
When your lesson plan is finalized, list the materials
that will be needed and assign them to the relevant Teacher/Trainer. Feel free to substitute readily available materials
and new and creative ideas to make the lesson exciting and relevant
to the children.
