The document discusses several costs and challenges of spiritual leadership according to J. Oswald Sanders' book Spiritual Leadership:
1. Self-sacrifice is required daily as a leader must "lose their life" and lay it down for others like Jesus did.
2. Loneliness is inevitable as the leader stands alone, misunderstood and having to make difficult decisions.
3. Fatigue is the price of leadership as rising early and working late is required with no rest for the leader.
4. Criticism, rejection and pressure come with spiritual leadership as the leader is pushing people forward and held to a high standard.
The document discusses the importance of leaders using their time wisely. It notes that the quality of a person's leadership will be measured by their use of time. Leaders must be careful with time by prioritizing the most important tasks and selecting what is essential to accomplish each day. Examples are given of influential figures from history and the Bible who maximized their time well, despite obstacles. The document encourages evaluating one's own time usage and making adjustments to ensure time is being used to accomplish God's purposes.
The document discusses Jesus' master plan of evangelism, which was to train disciples who would reproduce and multiply by making more disciples. Jesus expected the disciples to bear spiritual fruit that would last, and taught them the principle of reproduction. If the disciples faithfully followed this plan, the Gospel would spread to all parts of the world. The test was whether the disciples would continue Jesus' work after he was gone by imparting his spirit and methods to others. The Great Commission centered around making disciples who would then make more disciples. The early church proved Jesus' plan could work, but later the church lost focus on developing leaders and reproducing disciples. For evangelism to be effective, it requires committed people yielded to God's spirit,
The document discusses the power and significance of Jesus' death on the cross. It explains that the cross is central to Christianity and that through His suffering and death, Jesus overcame the six woes or sorrows that have afflicted mankind since the Fall - guilt, Satan's dominion, pain/suffering, anxiety, death, and separation from God. It emphasizes that we must receive the power of the cross in our own lives by taking up our cross daily and following Jesus.
The document summarizes key points from Bruce Wilkinson's book "The Seven Laws of the Learner". It discusses the first law - the Law of the Learner, which states that the teacher is responsible for causing the student to learn. It provides 5 maxims that reflect this law: 1) Teachers are responsible for student learning 2) Teachers will be accountable to God for their influence 3) Teachers control what is taught and how 4) Teachers should judge their success on student outcomes 5) Teachers impact more through their character than communication. The document gives examples and discussion for each maxim to explain how teachers can implement this first law.
I used to teach a simple Old Testament introduction using some ideas from Melton Short's book, The OT made simple. Recently I found the notes and thought if you are not familiar with the OT storyline you might find this a useful quick introduction.
SFL Section 4: Prayer, Combined Discipleship and Leadership notesRichard Chamberlain
This document discusses the importance of prayer for Christians and provides guidance on developing a prayer life. It addresses common excuses for not praying and emphasizes that prayer is both commanded by God and leads to answered prayers. The document encourages setting aside dedicated daily time and space for prayer, using Scripture to guide prayer, praying with others, and learning about prayer from Christian writings. Developing regular prayer habits and disciplines is important for spiritual growth and experiencing God.
The document discusses the Christian concept of atonement, which refers to God reconciling humanity through Jesus Christ. It explains that atonement involves Jesus taking on the punishment for human sin and dying in our place to satisfy God's justice and restore fellowship between God and humanity. The key points are:
1) Atonement involves Jesus bearing the punishment for our sins as our substitute on the cross in order to make amends for human wrongdoing and reconcile us to God.
2) While Jesus took on human sin, he was not himself a sinner - he was sinless. He willingly took the penalty for human sin to defeat sin, death, and Satan.
3) Jesus' death
This document summarizes and analyzes several passages from the Gospel of John, including Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana, his conversation with Nicodemus about being "born again", and his encounter with a Samaritan woman at a well. It discusses the locations and chronology of events, cultural and religious contexts, and themes around Jesus revealing himself as the Messiah and bringing about a new spiritual reality that transcends old rituals and systems.
A disciple is defined as someone who learns instruction from another, specifically from Jesus. The document discusses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus according to scripture. It states that a disciple lives continually by Jesus' word, commits their life completely to Jesus, has a fruit-bearing relationship with Jesus, shows unconditional love for others, and is dedicated to fulfilling Christ's commission of making other disciples.
Bruce Wilkinson, 7 Laws of the Learner: Law 2 expectationRichard Chamberlain
The document discusses the Law of Expectation, which states that a teacher should influence their students' learning and behavior by adjusting their expectations. It says expectations have a powerful impact on everyone, both inside and outside the classroom. The Law of Expectation is represented by a diagram showing the relationship between a speaker examining/considering a student privately and constantly in order to shape them, and then publicly exhorting/speaking to the student daily, with the goal of stirring them up to positive actions through love and good works rather than allowing them to develop a hard heart. High or unrealistic expectations can lead to disappointment, discouragement, disillusionment, and despair if not adjusted based on reality. Expectations impact both ourselves and those
This document discusses the spiritual disciplines of silence and solitude. It provides biblical examples of figures like Jesus, Moses and Paul withdrawing into silence and solitude. The author argues that silence and solitude allow us to better follow Jesus' example, hear God's voice, express worship and faith in God, and seek God's will. Regular silent retreats and finding a special place for solitude can aid in spiritual restoration and gaining God's perspective. While culture prefers noise, practicing silence and solitude has spiritual benefits according to Scripture.
This document provides an introduction to a course on Christian education. It discusses eight principles of effective teaching, including the importance of the teacher continuing to grow and learn. It emphasizes that effective teaching comes from changed people who are continually striving to improve. The document outlines an assignment where students will write a short paper critiquing a quote from the course material. It also discusses various aspects of wisdom and growth that students should strive for in their intellectual, physical, social and spiritual dimensions.
Biblical foundations of christian education (3)abibuag
The document discusses the biblical foundations of Christian education. It examines how education is portrayed in both the Old and New Testaments.
In the Old Testament, education took place through socialization and nonformal means, with God, families, prophets, priests, sages, and community playing teaching roles. In the New Testament, Jesus and his disciples provided instruction, and the early church taught through community and leadership. Various Greek words are used to describe teaching concepts in both testaments.
This document discusses the importance of teaching for application and life change. It summarizes the key points as:
1. The goal of teaching should be life change, not just covering content or increasing knowledge. Teachers should "apply for life change".
2. The Bible was given by God to transform lives, not just increase understanding. It provides instruction on how to live righteously through teaching, correction, instruction, and reproof.
3. An effective model for teaching involves using Scripture as the resource, and teaching through the methods of doctrine, correction, instruction in righteousness, and reproof to transform the character and conduct of students. The result should be mature Christians equipped for good works.
PowerPoint - Definitions of Curriculum and Christian Educationteresawelch
This document defines key terms related to curriculum and Christian education. It discusses curriculum as including the recommended, supported, taught, tested, learned, and hidden aspects. Christian education is understood from four perspectives: religious instruction, socialization, personal development, and liberation. Formal, nonformal, and informal learning environments are also addressed. The curriculum design process involves defining instructional purposes, goals, outcomes, scope and sequence, and methods based on educational foundations. The resulting instructional plan guides the creation of curricular materials for teaching.
This document discusses the changing landscape of learning in a world of abundant information and networked connectivity. It makes three main points:
1. The traditional definitions and systems of learning, education, and work are being disrupted by technological changes and the abundance of information. Skills like creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving are becoming more important than traditional content knowledge.
2. Schools, colleges, and jobs are shifting from institutionally organized models to ones driven more by self-organized and lifelong learning. Learners will need to develop skills to direct their own education and careers.
3. For learning to be effective in this new environment, it should be more connected to students' interests and passions. Teachers will
This document discusses the shift from an institutionally organized model of education to a self-organized model due to the abundance of information, knowledge, and teachers available online. It argues that the role of schools and teachers needs to change as learning becomes less about acquiring content, which is ubiquitous, and more about developing skills like problem solving, creativity, and making connections. The role of higher education is also disrupted as online learning proliferates and the value of a college degree is reevaluated in a world with abundant information.

The document discusses moving beyond traditional classroom models and exploring other models of learning. It suggests examining models like museums, video games, Broadway musicals, and digital platforms. Various instructional techniques are discussed, ranging from lectures to demonstrations, discussions, and having students teach others. The importance of hands-on, experiential and participatory learning is emphasized. Overall, the document advocates creating classrooms that are more engaging and interactive than traditional settings.
This document discusses the concept of flipped learning, where direct instruction is moved from group learning spaces to individual learning spaces. Some key points include:
- Flipped learning relies on moving lectures outside of class time via videos or other methods so class time can be used for hands-on activities, projects, discussions, and addressing students' questions.
- It allows for a more personalized learning experience through differentiation and allowing students to learn at their own pace.
- The approach can be applied to various subjects like math, science, literature and writing, and social sciences. Guidance is provided on designing flipped units and lessons.

This document discusses issues with the current state of education and assessment. It compares the rigid exam-focused model to reality television shows like Masterchef that provide continuous assessment, feedback and learning experiences. It argues that exams are not ideal for assessing learning and promoting student engagement. Instead, it advocates for more personalized and experiential learning through tasks, activities and feedback to develop students' skills and help them learn.
The document discusses how the modern world of ubiquitous computing and connectivity demands a new narrative for learning and schooling. Traditional models of education focused on content delivery are increasingly mismatched with the skills needed for today's abundant, networked world. Educators must become learners themselves in order to help students develop skills like creativity, problem solving, collaboration and continual learning. Schools need to shift from standardized models to personalized approaches that foster curiosity, passion and authentic learning experiences.
The document discusses the benefits of an authoritative parenting style that employs "tough love" techniques. It claims that this approach will mentally prepare children for challenges in the real world by teaching obedience, building self-esteem, and preventing uncontrolled emotions. Children who experience tough love are said to become more socially accepted and better equipped to handle life's disappointments.
The document discusses the importance of preparation for both teachers and students in the learning process. It argues that teachers are often unprepared for class, lacking enthusiasm and power to produce desired results. Good assignments can help precipitate student thinking, provide background, and develop independent study habits. Assignments should be creative, thought-provoking, and doable. The document also provides tips for teachers to engage students, including waiting patiently for answers, affirming participation, and developing note takers.
This presentation highlights the creation of the hashtag #sd36learn that has grown into a vibrant, creative online learning environment for Surrey School District educators
This document discusses the changing landscape of education due to increased access to information online. It argues that we are moving from an institutionally organized system of education to one that is self-organized by learners. This shift changes the roles of both students and teachers. Students now have more control over what and how they learn, while teachers must help students learn how to direct their own learning in this new environment of abundant information. The document suggests educators focus on empowering students to be self-organized, lifelong learners who can navigate this changing world.
Myofunctional Research Company presents Myobrace Beginner Course by Dr. Barry Raphael at the Raphael Center for Integrative Education, Clifton, New Jersey, January 2014: Part 4
The document discusses how the modern era of information abundance enabled by the internet and digital technologies has created a "crisis of contexts" for traditional education. It argues that education must shift from "delivering" information to helping students learn how to access and create information on their own. Key skills like curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and problem solving are becoming more important than basic skills and content knowledge that can now easily be accessed online. New approaches to assessment are also needed to evaluate these harder to measure skills and dispositions. The role of schools, teachers, and classrooms is changing to focus on nurturing these skills and providing new contexts for entrepreneurial, self-directed learning.
The document discusses the career path and life lessons of an unnamed author. It mentions learning from great teachers, working with great people, following your heart, and taking risks.

The document discusses research conducted on a dance class called TrancenDANCE. Ethnographic research methods were used, including observation of classes, interviews with students, and peer-to-peer documentation. Findings included that the choreographer struggled to remember routines without writing them down, students felt they needed a bigger practice space, and some students had to quit due to the monthly fee conflicting with college costs. Desk research found that keeping mentally active may help memory, college fees burden students, and saving for college is challenging. An infographic was created about making improvements to better serve members.
The document discusses the use of ethnographic research methods like observation and interviews to understand the TrancenDANCE program. Observations found that the instructor struggled to remember choreography and students needed a larger practice space. Interviews revealed that students enjoy TrancenDANCE but the fee is a barrier. Desktop research indicated college costs stress students' finances. An infographic proposed solutions like fundraising, jobs, and accommodating all members.
Millennials can smell marketing-speak a mile away. So why does higher ed still write things like this?
"[Insert school here] delivers an exemplary learning experience that engages the best and brightest people, challenging them to meet ever-higher standards in the classroom and beyond."
"Show, Don't Tell" is a communication tactic that presents sensory details and substantive facts and lets people come to their own conclusions. It's easy to tell people what you want them to think, but when you give them the freedom to reach their own conclusions, they'll believe them.
In "Secrets of Show Don't Tell," David Poteet (President, NewCity) outlines the essentials of this communication tool and shows you colleges and universities that are doing it well.
This document provides guidance on marketing the library through effective communication strategies. It emphasizes that libraries must promote themselves in order to attract users, as people will not automatically know about improvements or new offerings. The key recommendations are to clearly define the target audience, positioning, promises, and desired actions when marketing the library. Specific tactics discussed include newsletters, displays, events, and finding creative ways to engage both regular and new users. The overall message is that libraries need an intentional promotion plan to build awareness and encourage greater use.
The document appears to be a collection of excerpts from various sources discussing design, literacy, and civic participation. It includes quotes about the importance of understanding systems rather than just consuming information, and using design to facilitate accessibility and compliance rather than just existing systems. It also notes that testing alone is not teaching and that adversarial design may be needed to help culture see where systems are not working.
The document discusses how companies have started using ethnographic research methods like observation and interviews to gain a deeper understanding of consumers. It provides examples of how observing people in different contexts or with extreme behaviors can provide a novel perspective. Additionally, involving consumers directly in the research process can help companies better understand their needs and experiences. The goal of ethnographic research is to help companies and benefit consumers.

This document discusses the importance of making disciples who make disciples based on the models of Jesus and Paul. It notes that while many churches believe in and teach discipleship, few actually implement disciple-making processes like intentional relationships and accountability. The document cites examples of churches that grew when they shifted from a program-based to a relationship-based discipleship approach and created clear spiritual pathways expecting life transformation. It encourages pastors to invest in discipling relationships above all other activities.
It is common to refer to the process of maturing as a disciple as spiritual formation. Here, based upon work by Greg Ogden, I give a four stage process for growing into maturity, and fruitfulness, as a follower of King Jesus.
Jesus expected a process of change, growth and development in the life of his followers. Many writers suggest a three or four stage process. A four stage process is outlined here, along with personal challenge / application.
Disciple-Making, according to Greg Ogden requires at least tow major factors: Internalisation and Multiplication. This presentation adds to his ideas with some scripture and illustrative ideas challenging followers of Christ to become, and make, disciples in his image.

Key points covered include Creation, the Fall, Noah, Abraham, Joseph in Egypt, Moses and the Exodus, receiving the 10 Commandments at Mt. Sinai, and Joshua leading the people into Canaan.
The document provides guidance on discipleship and disciple-making. It begins by defining a disciple as someone who is following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to Jesus' mission. It then discusses the importance of discipleship, noting that disciples are meant to be world-changers and that one-on-one discipleship is the most effective method, replicating itself over time. The document concludes by outlining models of discipleship, including sharing the gospel, connecting with others, helping them minister, and ultimately making them disciples who can repeat the process.
The document summarizes the biblical story of Babel in Genesis 11, where all humanity spoke one language but decided to build a tower to make themselves famous. God responded by confusing their languages, scattering them across the earth and enforcing his command to spread out. It also discusses the origins of different ethnicities and races. The next section introduces Abraham, called at age 75 to leave Haran and given promises by God of land, descendants and blessing through his offspring. The covenant with Abraham sets the agenda for the rest of the Bible by being fulfilled through Christ.
The document outlines key events in the biblical story of humanity's origins and early history:
1. God creates the universe and places the first man and woman in the Garden of Eden.
2. Adam and Eve rebel against God and are banished from the Garden, introducing sin and brokenness into the world.
3. As sin and death spread, God brings a flood to wipe out most of humanity while saving Noah, his family, and two of every kind of animal on an ark.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

2. MOST TEACHERS GO TO THEIR
WORK EITHER PARTLY PREPARED
OR WHOLLY UNPREPARED. THEY
ARE LIKE MESSENGERS WITHOUT
A MESSAGE. THEY LACK ENTIRELY
THE POWER AND ENTHUSIASM
NECESSARY TO PRODUCE THE
FRUITS WHICH WE HAVE A RIGHT
TO LOOK FOR FROM THEIR
EFFORTS.

6. Hendricks suggests that the problem with
many classes is that you spend the whole
time getting people interested in the
material. How do we overcome this?
“Do not think of the beginning of the
class as the starting point for building
interest in the subject. Instead, move
the starting point back...so that by the
time you get together, you are
continuing to develop momentum”
Monday, 19 August 13
7. SUCCESSFUL ASSIGNMENTS
The law of readiness provides the
philosophical basis for assignments.
In a usual class you (the teacher)
are well prepared - they (the
students) are usually not!
You are enthusiastic as you have
found answers and solutions - they
come with nothing
Monday, 19 August 13
8. Consider how many
people prepare for the
Sunday morning sermon
- do you?
In this context ask: what
is the value of
assignments?
Monday, 19 August 13
10. 1. They Precipitate Thinking -
mental warmup before class begins
2. They Provide a Background - a
foundation, the student becomes aware of
problems and issues around the subject -
questions arise, curiosity is piqued.
Monday, 19 August 13
12. 3. They develop
Habits of
Independent Study -
this is most important,
students studying for
themselves. As a teacher
you are to stimulate the
student to lifelong
learning.
Monday, 19 August 13
14. What are the characteristics
of good assignments?
Monday, 19 August 13
15. 1. They must be
creative - not simply
work to keep students
busy. This means it is
harder for you as a
teacher - writing
creative assignments
takes more time and
thought.
Monday, 19 August 13
22. What do you do if your
assignments are creative,
thought provoking and
doable - and yet still the
students have not done
them?
Monday, 19 August 13
24. Simple solution 1: do them in class
Simple solution 2: (in some situations you can)
ask what situations are facing the
students and relate - use anonymous
questions submitted by the students -
real issues, dealt with in a real, practical way.
Monday, 19 August 13
25. Studies have shown a
direct correlation between
predictability and
impact.
High predictability = low
impact - and converse.
(Methods not morals)
Monday, 19 August 13
26. Jesus, who was never boring, and predictable -
e.g. Roman taxation, Mark 12:13ff
...some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to
catch him in his words. They came to him and said,
"Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You
aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to
who they are; but you teach the way of God in
accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to
Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"
Monday, 19 August 13
27. But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to
trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me
look at it." 16They brought the coin, and he asked
them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.
Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is
Caesar's and to God what is God's."
And they were amazed at him.

28. An English bishop said,
“...wherever the apostle Paul went, they had a
riot or revival. Wherever I go, they serve tea.”
Monday, 19 August 13
29. An English bishop said,
“...wherever the apostle Paul went, they had a
riot or revival. Wherever I go, they serve tea.”
What do they do where you go?
What do you want them to do?
How could you achieve this
result?

33. FIGHTING SILENCE
You ask a question and get this
look.
Maybe they didn’t
understand - so you rephrase
the question

34. FIGHTING SILENCE
You ask a question and get this
look.
Maybe they didn’t
understand - so you rephrase

Monday, 19 August 13
35. FIGHTING SILENCE
You ask a question and get this
look.
Maybe they didn’t
understand - so you rephrase
the question
What would you do now?
Wait for an answer - be more
patient than the students
Monday, 19 August 13
36. When people are afraid to
take part:
1. Encourage the students
to take part
2. Affirm them when they
do - “fantastic, thank you”, “I
have never seen that before in
all my years of studying”,
“That’s a great question”
Monday, 19 August 13
37. FIELDING TOUGH
QUESTIONS
What if you are asked a
question you don’t know the
answer to?
Keep your mouth shut, or, “that’s a
good question, I don’t have an
answer, but I’ll try to get one”
Monday, 19 August 13
38. Admit your answer might be superficial at that
time - so write the question down and then get
back to them.
Don’t be embarrassed to say, “I don’t know”
How would you handle threatening
questions?
Don’t get defensive, or negative, show a
positive attitude and you might win the person
asking it over to your side.

41. CONTROLLING DISCUSSION
DOMINATORS
1. Express appreciation for
their contribution. Tell them
privately - “I really appreciate
your interest, if we could get
everyone as interested as you I’d
have it made”
Monday, 19 August 13
42. 2. Ask them to do you a favour - “Have you
noticed some people don’t participate in the class, would
you help me get those people into it? Just hold back a
little and let’s see if we can get everyone as involved as
you are”
3. Ask them to answer a question in the class -
it might be the first time anyone has asked
them to answer a question and it shows you
value their contribution
Monday, 19 August 13
43. DEVELOP NOTE TAKERS
For example notes...help to
identify ideas presented in
discussions and lectures.
...the lecture may be the only
opportunity to learn information.
...exams are usually based upon the
points covered in class.
...provide an efficient way to review
and remember
