Step 2: Illustrate
Illustrate the skill being used, expose them to it, preview what they will look like.Most teachers never get to this - it moves beyond memory repetition of facts

Step 3: Involve
Involve the students, they experience the skill in a practicum.
Students have been passive until this stage - they heard, watched and now did the skill along with you - this is key, make sure it is a positive experience

Step 4: Improve
Students have the skill, now you improve it so they become efficient as they perform it. This can go on forever aiming to achieve excellence, but does need to be monitored for each individual.

Jesus trained his disciples:
Instruct - he taught them publicly and privately
Illustrate - watching him minister in all sorts of situations
Involve - they ministered with him, and then on their own
Improve - they came back and reported, Jesus then trained and equipped further
Inspire - post resurrection appearances, HS to train and comfort - Jesus sent them but never left them

1. Train your students until they are successful,
independent users of the skill
“As a students conviction and capability determine their ultimate success, these 2 factors should determine the teachers success.”
Negative attitude: “I hate this subject”, no feeling for the subject.Inadequate ability: “I will never use this subject”, competence in using the subject is not mastered

2. Reproduce yourself by focusing on your students’
skill, not your style
Duplicating your style builds shallow people.Students must become effective within their own personality and temperament.Each Bible book is written with an obvious style unique to the writer.

3. Alter equipping according to your students’ characteristics
and circumstancesFor a student to successfully use skills you have to take into account their innate abilities - their IQ, social and educational background and physical abilities.You plot your course according to their abilities - you might be the best teacher in the world but still some students will not achieve brilliance!

4. Increase students’ motivation by relationship,
retribution and rewardThe more the student desires to learn something the quicker they will learn it. Increase their motivation - done in 3 main ways.1. Relationships2. Fear of retribution or pain3. Hope of reward, pleasure, benefit

5. Nail down the basics before developing advanced skills
The stronger a foundation the higher a building can be constructed upon it. Make sure your students master the basics and then teach advanced skills.Remember as a teacher you are there for the benefit of the students - not vice versa

6. Encourage students more frequently during early training
As the start of something new there is usually some anxiety or fear - the stronger such feelings are the more the teaching is blunted.Teachers have to actively lessen students fears - in 5 ways:

7. Reaffirm students’ value independent of their level of
performance
Jesus showed the widows offering was worth more than that of the rich - freeing us from the bondage of comparison. Performance appraisal is relative to the ability of that person - not of others.

What motivates you most as a Christian, a student, a teacher? What subject area most brings you to life?3. How would you encourage and hep a student who is discouraged by their lack of natural ability?
