Jars of Treasure: Ideas and Encouragement for New Teachers Resources
Jars of Treasure: Ideas and Encouragement for New Teachers
     
Information for session leader:
     
Audience: New and returning Christian education teachers
     
Time: 45 minutes  
       
Objectives/Goals: Participants will:  
  1) receive encouragement from scripture.
  2) review ideas for classroom/lesson management:
    a) Who are your students?
    b) Working with space, curriculum and time.
  3) practice tailoring the space and time available to them, their own students and curriculum.
Notes to the Leader: This session is designed to be led entirely by you. Do you feel nervous? That is just how many of these new teachers are feeling. Please take the devotional to heart by completing it personally before the session. Plan to relax, have fun and build up the participants in love.
     
Variation: You may share leading with another person or two by sharing out the parts.
     
Space requirements: You will need a room large enough to accommodate your group and to allow for some movement into small groups for the activity. Tables would be helpful.
Supplies:
