The scriptures illustrate that God has immense confidence in the spiritual abilities of young people. The youth you teach are actively "forming the foundations of their testimony" and discovering their deepest beliefs. Because they are making choices that will alter the course of their lives, they desperately need to know how to "find strength during their trials, answers to their questions, and courage to 'stand as witnesses of God'". This training video provides essential insights to help you lovingly guide the youth in your seminary classroom.
In this video, you will learn how to:
- Unlock Their Potential: Realize that youth have the "potential to do remarkable things in the Lord’s service"
- If they sense that you trust them, "their confidence in their divine potential will grow and they will amaze you with what they can accomplish"
- Listen to Understand: Discover why teaching youth requires "good listening skills," as teenagers increasingly desire to "learn things by reasoning and experience rather than by simply being told things". When youth feel understood, they are "more open to counsel and guidance"
- Encourage Daily Habits: Help your students "exercise their faith in Him by developing a daily habit of prayer and scripture study and by serving others". Assure them that the Lord will aid them as they wrestle with their trials
- Foster Independence: Guide your students to have "personal experiences that will build their testimony of their divine heritage" by encouraging them to participate in class and study on their own
- Leverage Technology: Rather than fighting against screens, remember that "these devices are tools to enhance learning"
- Teach your students how to navigate the Gospel Library and use links or messages to help them prepare for upcoming lessons
Note: From the manual Teaching in the Savior's Way
