Teaching with Style

Greetings:

Luke 4:32 - "They were astonished at His teaching because His message had authority."

A number of years ago, I was privileged to attend a seminar by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries entitled Teaching With Style. Over the next few weeks, I would like to share some thoughts from this seminar to help you in your walk as a Christian educator.

Style is part of a three-legged stool in teaching. We must consider the Students, Subject, and Style in our lesson preparation. The Subject is what we are teaching - the content of the lesson. The Students are who we are teaching - our class, and Style is how we are teaching - communicators.

Dr. Bruce Wilkinson has been quoted as saying,"Great teachers, teaching Biblically-based truth with creative methods see lifechange occur around the world." As we seek to utilize style in our teaching, we will remove a major hindrance to learning - BOREDOM.

Join me over the following days to consider the Scriptural concepts that will help us to teach with style.

For Kingdom Education,
Doc
