Go Teach Training Course


	Format:	8x90 min
Description The SANSSA Teacher Training Course is a skills training course for Sunday School teachers. This course has been designed to provide the specialist training required for teachers of pupils in the various age categories. Upon enrolment teachers select the department group of their choice and meet with that group for the duration of the course. The course is designed to meet the needs of both experienced teachers and those who have just started Sunday School teaching. However, experience has shown that teachers benefit most from the course when they have had previous exposure to Sunday School teaching, even for a short period. A certificate, issued by the respective SANSSA Regional Office, is awarded to all trainees who attend at least seven out of the eight sessions.

Course Objectives The overall objective of the course is to provide Sunday School teachers with the fundamental skills required to teach the Word of God to pupils at the particular age-level with whom they are working.

Presentation Arrangements The course is presented by a team of training leaders, appointed by the SANSSA Branch or Region. Manuals, available to leaders, provide both content and presentation suggestions and serve as guides to fulfilling the objectives of each session. Presentation is by means of a variety of teaching techniques with particular emphasis on those methods which will involve the trainees in meaningful learning activities. The demonstration of techniques and materials and the use of real–life illustrations also form an integral part of the course. Each trainee attending the course, receives a manual containing outline notes of each session.

PHASE THREE would include any refresher course-type training which may be provided for registered SANSSA training leaders from time to time.
