A Guide for Secondary Bible Teachers

After serving as a high school and middle school Bible teacher for ten years in three countries, I decided to put my ideas into a guide to assist other teachers. This guide includes the following items:

• a broad overview of the field of education and compulsory schooling to help teachers understand the context of their work
• job-hunting tips
• goals for Bible teaching
• pitfalls of Bible teaching
• classroom management strategies
• reasons to expose students to biblical controversy

Then daily classroom activities are introduced:

• icebreakers
• assignments for the mind
• assignments for the heart
• assignments for the hands
• the importance of review

Finally, this guide concludes with online resources and sample lessons on Genesis 1.
