This requires effective teaching that changes interested learners into passionate Christ-followers who understand, love and obey His Word. Teaching the Transforming Word is a motivational and practical course that prepares people to teach the Scripture for life change. This is a three-hour credit course presented in two modules. Module One will be taught on Tuesday nights, October 2 November 19. Module Two will be taught on Tuesday nights in the spring of 2013 beginning February 6 and ending April 2. Class will be conducted from 7:00 9:00 p.m. The course will use classroom, online, and project-based learning to improve teaching skills. Professor of Record Dr. Steve Klipowicz (phone) (fax) sklipowicz@gordonconwell.edu Teaching Assistant Deana Nail Deana.nail@mission12-11.org Contact Information Course Text Books Reading is a critical part of the learning experience.

2 Melick, R. and Melick, S., Teaching That Transforms. (Nashville: Broadman and Holman, 2010). Shafer, C. Excellent in Teaching with the Seven Laws.( Grand Rapids: Baker House, 1985). Yount, W., Called to Teach. (Nashville: B&H Publishing, 1999). Online Learning Components Some of the course content, support and assignments will require that students be able to access the online resources in the SAKAI learning management system created for this course. All students need to have a computer with Internet access. An orientation session will be included to help students become familiar with the SAKAI site and its features. Teaching Support Groups Students will be asked to participate in a small group (4-5) of other students to meet with their instructional coach and provide support and feedback to other students. Groups will be formed the third week of class. Course Learning Outcomes Module One (Preparing to Teach) This course is designed to prepare students to effectively teach the Bible in churches and other ministry or Bible study situations. Module One will focus on developing the knowledge and skills to effectively plan and develop Bible courses and classes that help learners grow in their understanding of the Bible and their relationship with God. The course will utilize concepts and models taught in the BibleJourney. Students who diligently complete all the assignments and attend all learning sessions are expected to obtain the following outcomes: 1. Students should be able to express a theology of biblical transformation that includes key scriptures and core concepts from the Bible plus an appreciation for the spiritual dynamics of teaching. 2. Students should understand their optimal role in the teaching-learning process and how to structure educational situations based upon this self-awareness 3. Students should be able to identify the four elements of a situational audit, conduct one for a proposed teaching project or class and integrate the outcomes into a specific Bible learning situation. 4. Students should be able to determine and express the Big Idea of a biblical book or passage of Scripture
3 5. Students should be able to develop meaningful learning outcomes for a Bible study class and/or course based upon the Big Idea. 6. Students should be able to use various active learning methods to enable learners to achieve the learning outcomes. 7. Students should be able to assess and evaluate learning achieved through a Bible class or program. 8. Students should be able to reproduce one of the proposed models for formatting a class session and structure a Bible class from it. Learning Assignments This course is developed with the assumption that effective learning is active learning. All students, whether they are auditing or taking the course for credit, will be asked to complete the learning assignments in order to maximize their learning. Course instructors will provide support and coaching to help every student complete the assignments. All assignments for Module One will be due on December 10, Students taking the course for credit (1.5 hours) will be graded on the basis of the following assignments. 1. Course Reading (20 points) Read Called to Teach and Teaching that Transforms in their entirety. Students taking course for credit should submit a short reading report (2 pages) for each book providing a short summary of key ideas they have gleaned from each book. Students will receive 10 points for each book completed and reported on for a total of 20 points. 2. Reflection Journal (30 Points) Students should keep a reflective journal throughout the semester. This can be done in a hard copy format or online by writing a blog that will be posted on the SAKAI site. The journal should have at least 15 entries submitted during the semester. These reflections will provide a narrative of each student s reflections upon their course readings and their progress regarding various elements of the Bible Teaching Project (See below). A written guide will be provided to help students in developing their journals or blogs. Students will be encouraged to read the posting of other students and make suitable comments. Written journals will be submitted on December 10, Bible Teaching Project (150 Points) The major emphasis of this module is the development of well-conceived Bible classes that promote learning and life-changing spiritual growth through effective educational design and dependence upon the presence of the Holy Spirit. To practice the various teaching models and principles taught in the class and text books, students will develop plans for teaching a section of the Bible. Students who are taking the class for credit will have to complete plans for three Bible studies (Auditors 2). Written copies of the plans will be submitted on December 10, Students will also give short presentations
4 of their projects at the last class session (November 20, 2012). Guidelines for the presentations will be given during class time. Students should develop their projects around an actual class they are teaching or possibly will be teaching. Students who do not have a current opportunity to teach will be asked to develop their project around a simulated scenario of the student s choice. Each project will provide the following features: 1. Description of the class situation or scenario 2. Situational Audit Narrative using the Interpretive Matrix Model that identifies the key instructional factors in the class or course and how each of these factors will influence how the class is developed and taught (3-4 pages) 3. Identification of what will be taught from the Bible and why these sections are chosen 4. Development of the Big Idea of each passage or lesson being taught 5. Development of learning outcomes for the course for specific classes or sessions. These should be holistic in nature identifying cognitive, affective and skill-based outcomes 6. Three sample lesson plans (credit students) should be developed that include: A. Presenting and justifying the Big Idea focus for each class B. Formatting each class around the Star Model movements C. Provide learning goals for each of the movements within the class sessions D. Identify and explain the use of learning activities within each movement E. Explaining how learning will be assessed and evaluated during and after each class session. F. Identify what is discerned as needed spiritual support and direction for each class in terms of transformational elements and challenges The project will be assessed in terms of completeness of the projects, clarity and quality of writing and organization, depth and comprehensiveness of analysis, and the creativity and insight developed into the class plans.
