Be a little better and try a little harder.

Ask thought provoking questions.
Luke 24:17

Jesus was receiving revelation to know where students were at in their thinking and what was on their minds. He guided them to work out the issues they were pondering in their minds and in their hearts with questions and moments to let them ponder.
Teaching the saviors way. Find the core teaching principles.
1, Love those your teach
2, Prepare yourself spiritually
3, Teach by the spirit
4, Teach doctrines from the scriptures
5. Discover the doctrine together
6. Invite to act
Allow others to express themselves by asking them questions. Questions promote thought, not only in the one being asked, but also in the whole class.
Do not be afraid of silence that questions might temporarily bring.
Don't stifle participation because we have a lot of material to get through.

Most great teachers are great learners.
Make frequent eye content with the students.
Give opportunities for the students to take what they need, rather than just dumping material on top of them.
If you are ultra focused on what you are teaching, then you may miss what your students are learning.
We need to help students understand with their hearts and not just with their minds.
Youth can go through the church programs and come out the other side without a testimony if they are just spectators.
Find ways to invite students to act.
Create an environment where our students feel safe to ask questions.

The two great teaching Commandments
1. Prepare yourself spiritually
2. Love those your teach.
Prepare yourself
-live what you teach
-treasure up continually
-study the gospel first
-
Keep files of things we learn that we can refer back to when we have lessons or talks.
Love those your teach
-reach out to those not attending
-
We are here to build disciples of Jesus Christ.
The lesson does not have to be dull, but should be more than whipped cream.
