Content of the course
In this course we focus on the teachers, their teaching skills and their role in the learning process of children. We start with daily practice: the lessons of yesterday and tomorrow. We will discuss lesson preparation by using a lesson plan format. What is done before and during a lesson should be seen in the context of the higher purpose of education. We will discover that the purposes of Christian teaching can be strongly derived from Scripture. Having these purposes in mind (more or less implicitly) will strongly influence on how we view children and teachers.
Every child is unique and the teacher has to adjust his or her educational methods according to the differences between the children. To stimulate the different children to learn actively, is very complex in large classes. Participants will become aware of their important role in the children’s learning process.
During the course we will practise and discuss active and cooperative learning strategies that can be applied in tomorrow’s lesson and discover how resources can support teaching. The course will end an assignment to apply the newly refined skills into school practice.
It is a principle of the course to include didactical strategies as examples for the participants. At the end of the course the participants will give a lesson in which they practise everything that was learnt during this course.
