Training the Teacher

Facing a shortage of capable Sunday‑school teachers, this practical guide offers a clear roadmap for building a solid teacher‑training program. It breaks the curriculum into four easy‑to‑follow sections—Bible study, insights into how learners think at different ages, proven teaching methods, and the best ways to structure the classroom environment. Alongside these core topics, concise supplemental chapters explore the origins of the biblical text and provide quick reference summaries.

The book walks leaders through every step of launching a class, from a brief preparatory meeting with pastors to selecting the right textbook and gathering a small, motivated group. It emphasizes collaborative learning, encouraging discussion, question‑and‑answer sessions, and brief, focused essays rather than long lectures. With advice on choosing suitable participants, scheduling meetings, and nurturing a supportive leader, the manual equips churches to develop confident, well‑prepared teachers ready to share the Word effectively.
