Dave and I attended regional meetings last evening for our respective callings. He went to the Young Men section while I went to the meeting for all teachers. We were instructed by the General Sunday School President. Not sure of his name because I arrived late. (Back to School Night at MMS was also last evening.)
A few points that I wrote down:
There should always be an invitation associated with teaching. Learning doesn't happen when the learner isn't exercising agency. Students should be encouraged to make an effort--"anxiously engaged" in asking, seeking, and knocking. The goal is to fill the hearts with the desire to change. His grandchildren sang his own song about the 3 d's: desire, determination, decision---Yes, choose to do something!
Teaching is a skill--practice--get feedback. Teach people not lessons
3 elements of gospel teaching are:
1. Key Doctrine
2. Invitation to Action
3. Promised Blessings
It was a good meeting. However, if you ask Spencer and Matthew the meeting was too long. They were home alone for a bit of time. It will be good to implement some of their instructions in our FHEs.
