Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I recently was in a class and watched a teacher do a very ‘teacher-like’ thing: he made a list on the white board. He had the students read a passage, then went back with them to pick out certain things from the passage that answered a question he had …

By Scott Knecht Here is something I wanted to write about a while back and thought I did, but was reminded by a friend that it never happened. So here it is now. The question is how do you get more students to open up and speak more often? Teachers will tell me that their students won’t say anything in class. I think “That’s odd because as they were walking…

By Scott Knecht I once visited a teacher’s class that did not go well. We talked afterwards and we both knew it was weak. A month later I visited and it was a much better class.

By Jenny Smith Jenny Smith: I wanted to mention something I found while preparing last week’s lesson: the stories in the student manual are often better or extended compared to the teacher manual. For example in #dandc45, the student manual has a great extended explanation of the parable of the #tenvirgins from SWK. It’s not present in the teacher manual. If you’re like me and wanting more background or explanation,…

For example, there are some words that pop up frequently that beg for definition. I happen to think that it is not a good idea to ask students for word definitions because…
