Take a brief inventory before exploring Basics of Teaching. even by a seeming accident as you "fall" into teaching.through the strong movement of the Holy Spirit.You may think you merely answered a plea for help, or just knew it was your turn to help the third graders! But God’s call can come in many ways: You may not even realize that you responded to a call. But each has somehow heard a call to teach and has responded.

For thousands of years God has asked and equipped teachers to participate in the work of helping others come to know God and live as people of faith. We teach and lead because God has called us to do so. This resource might serve as a crash course in the basics of teaching or a helpful reminder of things forgotten, or an encouragement along your journey as a teacher.
