Some observations:
The aim is at the heart, not the head.
You are not giving out information but shaping a life.
All you teach must have application.
Learning is the objective, not completing a subject or story.
If there is a disruption, that may need to be the focus of the lesson.
Kids really need to be related to where they are experiencing something.
Teach them right where they are having a problem.
Answer their questions, either by anticipation or solicitation.
The role of the teacher-It is not the material, but the life.
If God is at work in your life, you have material.
