Abstract

The purpose of this project was to design and test a program for training new teachers in the large and growing Sunday school setting. The program included recruiting and selecting trainees, curriculum development, teaching the program and evaluating the results. Ten lessons in theory were alternated with practical assignments in children's classrooms under the supervision of a fully trained teacher. Each trainee selected a preferred age group. The theoretical training included material appropriate to teaching children ages two years through sixth grade. An integral six week component focused on the personal spiritual growth of the teacher. The program was evaluated by twelve trainees at the end of the first semester of teaching. The project resulted in a program that effectively trained teachers to a higher level of competence than previous methods of training.
