Abstract:
The goal of this creative project is to provide Sunday School volunteers with evidencebased
pedagogies commonly used in a general education classroom to better the teaching
practices used in the Sunday School learning environment. The volunteer training
curriculum is based on four main aspects of teaching: small group instruction, large group
instruction, classroom management, and active engagement. This creative project
includes a handbook with easy to implement and research-based techniques for
volunteers with little to no teaching experience, five lesson plans for ministry leadership
to use as training material that accompany the volunteer handbook, and presentation
visuals that correspond with the lesson plans.
