WILL YOU BE OFFERING A CLASS FOR YOUR TEACHERS-IN-TRAINING? They would love to have something written, showing them their strengths and weaknesses. Or…maybe you would like to offer your current teachers a report so they can gauge how they are doing.

To get started, have a meeting and hand out a card to all teachers and explain each entry. Tell teachers that the superintendent or a representative will plan to visit his/her class and grade them on their abilities. After the class is over, they will receive a copy of the report. Make yourself available to each teacher to talk about their grades. You will find the card is based on Elder Mike Wilson’s “The Seven “Ps” Of Effective Teaching”:

1- Personal Teaching
(teaches out of experience; can identify with the biblical author)

2- People-oriented Teaching
(mindful of ministering to people)

3- Purposeful Teaching
(able to reach definite goals in teaching)

4- Protective Teaching
(doesn’t allow class to drift)

5- Persuasive Teaching
(has ability to influence the thoughts of students with the Word of God)

6- Powerful, Repetitive Teaching
(ability to repeat points without boring class)

7- Progressive Teaching
(teaches with movement, like a good story)

The sample card was created with 4 cards on an 8.5 x 11 sheet.
After printing the cards, they need to be cut into fourths.

You will find a sample of a Teacher-In-Training Report Card below:
