Teaching Children Effectively 2

About the Course

Although the focus of TCE™ Level 2 is on the saved child, a strong evangelistic emphasis is also presented. You will learn to write clear lesson objectives based on the needs of the saved child and to teach a narrative Bible lesson with these objectives in view. You will also learn to be consistent in teaching the message of salvation in the Bible passage as well as in the class hour. The skills you gain will enable you to offer practical help to children as they establish and develop a personal relationship with God. You will be required to participate in five practical teaching opportunities with children in the context of a Good News Club®/5- Day Club®, applying the knowledge gained in the course.

FAQ's

To provide each student with:

  • Increased knowledge about the spiritual needs of saved children
  • Effective methods of discipleship
  • Practical ideas for teaching missions to saved children

TCE Level 2 contains principles and methods for spiritual growth which all Christians,
whether children, young people or adults urgently need, for every believer is in the spiritual developmental process. Someone has said, “It takes fifteen minutes to evangelize a child, two minutes to give the invitation, ten minutes to counsel him and eighty years to lead him in spiritual growth.” Saved children need to grow in their relationship with God and in their relationships with others. Only as you, the children’s worker, understand your role in this ongoing spiritual teaching learning process, can you begin to guide saved children in a gradual, balanced experience of spiritual growth which will result in changed behavior. To be more effective as “workers together with God,” each teacher should know 1) how changes in conduct take place; 2) how to plan and write effective objectives for Bible lessons; and 3) how to apply biblical truth in a clear, practical way to the life of the child according to his needs. The purpose of this unique course is fourfold: to provide principles and methods for effective teaching; to equip teachers with the “practical how-to” of discipling children; to increase their
realization of the urgency of the task; and to lead them to depend on the Holy Spirit as they guide children.
