II. Introduction of 2 key components to everyday Seminary:
A. Devotional-by Sis. Lyman. 2 Ne 32:8-9. Devotional happens at beginning of every class or when youth shows up if necessary; be flexible and ready to alter as needed based on your class. Use scripture masteries, find personal applications, and alway bear testimony in the end. Sis Lyman has kids sign up monthly when they will do the devotional. HOMEWORK: Go under New Teacher Training>Quick Start Tutorials>Additional Helps and watch the video called "Establishing a Spiritual Setting with Devotional"
B. Scripture Mastery-Sis. MacGruder. The appendix of the Book of Mormon Teachers Manual has really good info to read on SM. 4 points: 1. Locate the verse--use songs to memorize order of books in BOM.
2. Understand content and context-use SM in devotionals, read the backs of the little,individual SM cards. 3. Apply to your life--missionary role play scenarios with the SM. 4. Memorize, "One word race" each student says one one of the SM from memory or can read. Elder Scott --great power can come from memorizing scriptures. HOMEWORK: Locate the Appendix in the back of the BOM Teacher's Manual and read the last section which is on Scripture Mastery
III. A few words from our Priesthood leaders
A. Bro Donat, high councilor --We need to work with our Priesthood leaders. He read from the Objective "Adminster" where we should assist parents. In our stake we might have mutliple wards in our class so maintaining contact with the Bishops will require some thought at creativity. Suggestions: Attend ward council--email bishops weekly, email parents and cc their bishop on every correspondence. Technology Overview: WISE is the attendance app we use. ldsces.org or si.lds.org is the educator portal for Seminary and Institute (S&I) teachers.
B. Pres. Hulme, 1st councilor in Stake presidency. Governing principles in the Gospel:
Entity Governing Authority
Youth Self agency
Family Parents-patriarchal
Ward Bishops keys of Aaronic Priesthood
Stake Stake President-keys of Melchizedek Priesthood
Church Prophet Apostolic keys
Seminary teachers have authority delegated by Stake President.
There are numerous ways to set up Seminary classes:
by high school
by ward
by building
by family preference and this is what our Stake Presidency chooses to do allowing families the opportunity in family councils to decide how their youth will attend.
Read the "Charted Course in Education" by J. Ruben Clark or watch--teach the gospel of Jesus Christ . Our testimony is paramount. Have moral courage to teach the doctrine from the scriptures, the prophets and 12 Apostles.
IV. Sis Christensen/misc.
Questions: When will we get rolls? Stake is working with Bishoprics and Exec Secretaries to get the info from the families. Then classes can be formed based on that information. Focus now on spiritual preparation .
Basic Doctrines handout--read it, ponder it, study it, mark the scriptures. Consider a special marking system in your scriptures of these Basic Doctrines. They do correspond with the Come, Follow Me monthly principles. Use the new BOM Teacher's Manual. It has all of the good techniques we have been challenged to use found in the GTL built in. Doctrines are in bold so we don't miss them; numerous opportunities for students as teachers; challenges to go and do/apply learning. Sharon uses online "Lesson resources" for prep with scripture hyperlinks and video clips to prepare lessons. (1 Ne ch 1 lesson is hyperlinked for you to see) Pacing guide/teaching schedule for Sept was distributed. Sharon is finalizing the rest of the year. Monthly stake inservices will be held the last Fri of each month at 6 am at the Wilder Building. Seminary class is cancelled that day so all in town teachers can attend.
Bookmark with Objectives--LIVE, TEACH,ADMINISTER was handed out with the rest of the summer training dates on the other side.
