God has equipped and called teachers to minister His Word to the next generation.

August is here! – and many teachers are getting ready to start back to the education world ;(

Truly, God has equipped & called some to be teachers. I have observed and hired many teachers through the years. Some look good on paper and have a great academic record, but yet cannot teach. While the statement “You can teach skill but passion is priceless” is true, I have seen some that have skill & passion but still cannot teach (some will learn in time if they continue), but I believe there is an innate ability in a “naturally” gifted & called teacher. This gift shows up in the area of classroom management particularly; today’s students are a lot more difficult to handle than children of the past. If you do not have control of the class … no learning will happen. Control begins with the instructor’s always being prepared (with no down time) and the instructor’s ability to draw the student into the material (the gift manifested). Some may say that they have 25 years of experience teaching – but don’t let it be said of you that you have 1 year of experience & 24 years of doing it the wrong way! Have a great start to your school year 🙂
