Learn To Pronounce Biblical Words


ICEA – Pointing You to Resources

If you are a teacher, minister, or someone who stands before a group to read the holy scriptures, you know trying to pronounce words from the Bible can be a challenge. There are now many resources that will allow you to hear how words are pronounced.

Here’s how it’s done:
1) Go to the website: http://www.dictionary.com.
2) Type your word in the search box in the top area of the website.
3) Hit ENTER on the keyboard to submit your word.
4) Locate the word along with a small SPEAKER icon next to it.
5) Click the SPEAKER icon to hear how the word is pronounced.

THINGS TO NOTE: Some biblical words do not have a speaker icon and cannot be pronounced.

A Report Card for Teachers-In-Training (Handout)


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:

Consider Holding Your Own Teachers’ Empowerment Conference! (Handouts)


IT’S ABOUT TIME YOUR TEACHERS HELD A TEACHERS EMPOWERMENT CONFERENCE! How about calling it “Commissioned To Teach!” Maybe hold it on two consecutive Sunday afternoons if you have quite a few teachers. We have taken the hard work out of putting together your program by supplying you with a table, filled with suggested topics for each teacher to teach on. You will also see a sample of a flyer that you can create and give to teachers and promising teachers! Click the text below for your sample handouts.
