Seminary Curriculum Training Plan

This training plan provides suggestions for coordinators and program administrators to help new seminary teachers complete the curriculum trainings. It is designed to help teachers learn incrementally, which can help them to not feel overwhelmed.

Consider creating an individual plan with each teacher to help them complete the trainings as they are ready. It may be best to encourage teachers to follow the curriculum closely in the beginning. As they receive additional trainings and become more familiar with the resources in the curriculum, they will grow in their ability to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of their students.

Before they begin teaching:

Invite teachers to read and follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide.
Invite them to read the introduction to the teacher manual for the current year.

1–2 weeks later:

Invite them to complete the Adopt and Adapt Training.
Schedule a time to discuss any questions they may have about how to adopt and appropriately adapt the seminary curriculum.

2–4 weeks later:

Invite them to complete the Doctrinal Mastery Training.
Schedule a time to discuss any questions they may have about how to help students achieve doctrinal mastery.

3–6 weeks later:

Invite them to complete the Assessments Training.
Schedule a time to discuss any questions they may have about the “Assess Your Learning” lessons or the doctrinal mastery assessments.
