"Knowing What to Teach, and How"

There is a nice excerpt from Roberta Hestenes book Mastering Teaching available online at CT.com. I recommend this article for a number of reasons:

She's focused on working hard to tailor lesson material and presentation to her classes, so that people learn and grow and experience God in their lives. She's answering these questions to give balance to her lessons:

What do I want them to know?
What do I want them to feel?
What do I want them to do?

(Though it's not "I" but God who is directing this work.)

She has some helpful advice about how to block lessons across classes, using the biblical text itself as a guide.

Also, she lists some useful guidelines about questions.

So get the article for your files.
