Some Ways to Apply What You Are Learning (Feb 18-24)

Our training for the past 5 weeks has focused on "Teach the Doctrine." As you have applied the past few week's training into your lesson preparation and teaching, here is a final review of some of the points that were made.

• Evaluate what you are teaching to make sure you are teaching true doctrine. These questions can help:
  

  • Is what I’m planning to teach founded on the scriptures and words of latter-day prophets?

  • Have multiple prophets taught this? What are current Church leaders teaching about it?

  • How will this help others build faith in Jesus Christ, repent, and progress along the covenant path?

  • Is this consistent with the promptings of the Holy Ghost, or do I feel spiritually unsettled about it?

• Daily study the word of God to learn true doctrine for yourself.

• Ask learners to read scriptures and the words of modern prophets as you teach.

• Teach learners how to use the footnotes, the Guide to the Scriptures, and other resources as they study the scriptures.

• Invite learners to find truths in a scripture passage or a story.

• Bear testimony of how you have come to know a doctrine is true.

• Use stories or metaphors to help learners gain a deeper understanding of gospel truths.

Thank you for all you do to bless the youth in your classrooms. Starting next week, the weekly micro-trainings will focus on Inviting Diligent Learning.
