How To Use the Adult Teacher
T he Adult Teacher is a Bible-centered curriculum, written by Spirit-filled authors with a goal to clearly communicate the teachings of Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the entire Bible is covered in a period of seven years. In addition, all major Church doctrines are presented, as well as topics of special importance to help us live as Christians in our world.
Some people misunderstand the role of the Holy Spirit in teaching and the use of curriculum in study preparation. They ask, “How can you follow the Holy Spirit if you are using a curriculum?”
The Role of the Holy Spirit in Teaching
God has given teachers to the Church in order to instruct believers and equip them for life and service. The role of the Spirit is to quicken or illuminate what teachers teach and students receive. Without this teaching of the Spirit, all learning is merely head knowledge (see 1 Corinthians 2:10–16, especially verse 14). Teachers cannot give what they have not received. And students cannot learn what they have not studied (2 Timothy 2:15).
Why Use Curriculum?
Using the Adult curriculum in your Sunday School class does not circumvent what the Holy Spirit wants to do in a Sunday School class. Rather, by using Radiant Life Adult curriculum, you take advantage of Spirit-filled writers who have taken the time and effort to study and write a commentary about the passages under examination. You also are able to complete an overview of the entire Bible in seven years!
A good curriculum should do the following:
1. Ensure important information will not be omitted or overemphasized.
2. Weed out false teaching and doctrinal errors.
3. Provide a variety of resources. Remember that the Bible is the teacher’s textbook! The curriculum serves the teacher by offering Biblical insights and instructional ideas.
4. Help teachers ask the right questions.
Curriculum and Questions
A study discovered that teachers ask an average of forty-five questions weekly. Of these, one-third are rhetorically directed to students or are “class functionality” questions (i.e., asking students to distribute materials or discussing class issues). Curriculum materials provided teachers with one-third of the discussion questions asked in class, of which most were asked word-for-word from the curriculum. The other one-third of questions asked weekly were teacher-generated. Teachers who did not utilize discussion questions from curriculum were five times more likely to be asking lower-level questions (questions asking for simple recall or understanding—no application questions). The study verified that these lower-level questions resulted in much less discussion than those asked at higher levels. Those who utilized curriculum were more likely to ask higher-level questions—questions that required students to think through issues and apply the lesson material to their lives.
How Long Should You Prepare?
When preparing your Sunday School lesson, use the “3 to 1” rule: 3 minutes of study for each minute of class time. For a 45-minute class session, then, would call for 2 ¼ hours in lesson preparation.
Using 2¼ hours as the minimum amount of time invested in preparation for a 45-minute class, the following steps offer teachers a mental framework in which to budget time for planning lessons:
1. Skim the lesson (10 minutes)
Become familiar with the contents and direction of the lesson.
2. Pray for guidance (20 minutes)
This is a great time to pray for class members because the Holy Spirit can steer a teacher’s thoughts toward specific student needs.
3. Study the Bible commentary (30 minutes)
• Pay close attention to the relationship between the Scriptures and their interpretation in the Bible commentary section.
• Avoid the temptation to memorize and recite or read the Bible commentary text in class.
• List the issues raised in the Bible commentary that might meet needs of students.
• Consider the “Response to the Word,” as well as items from the Adult Resource Packet to provide potential activities.
• Examine how each question relates to the Bible commentary section.
• Focus on elements that seem to “leap off the page.”
4. Write the lesson objective (15 minutes)
Customize each lesson objective to fit your class. The objective will begin by the words “Adults will …” followed with a verb, such as believe, discuss, accept, respond with, role play , or write . Each part of the study and each activity should be geared to accomplish the objective.
5. Plan for student response in Call to Discipleship and Ministry in Action (10 minutes)
Use the “Call to Discipleship” and “Ministry in Action” sections of the lesson to close the class session in prayer or in a time of personal dedication (you may need to customize them for your students).
6. Prepare Introducing the Study (10 minutes)
Begin class with a story or activity that will capture students’ attention.
• Avoid starting with definitions.
• Use case studies, agree-disagree statements, and news items to spark interest.
7. Organize the Bible commentary (10 minutes)
• Use the outline in the Adult Teacher to guide you.
• Allow personal insight to flow from the Bible and lesson materials.
• Decide on two or three main ideas to focus on, then highlight the other topics.
8. List discussion questions (10 minutes)
Carefully select or write two to five questions that will stimulate discussion.
9. Select the presession activ
