The following is a summary of the information contained in Sunday School Auxiliary Training, a document prepared by the Sunday School general presidency for use by local stake and ward Sunday School leaders. Sunday School leaders and teachers could format this text into a summary card or bookmark for convenient reference.

Three Guiding Principles of Gospel Teaching and Learning

• "Lay hold upon the word of God” (Helaman 3:29).
• “Preach my gospel by the Spirit” (D&C 50:14).
• “Seek learning . . . by study and also by faith” (D&C 88:118).

Three Goals for Teacher Orientation and Subsequent Visits

Each teacher will be encouraged and helped to:

• Draw closer to God and have a greater desire to teach His word.
• Gain a deeper understanding of how to apply the guiding principles of gospel teaching and learning.
• Feel the caring support and encouragement of his or her leaders.
