Teaching for Change

Ken Coley offers teachers the keys to unlock the secrets to exceptional teaching. He believes excellence in teaching God's Word is a critical component for spiritual growth in students. This book provides practical, but powerful, teaching techniques that will lead to effective communication, meaningful group engagement, and authentic transformation of learners. The author writes with a depth of life experience and shares invaluable research about how students learn. Coley weaves together examples for the teaching of Jesus in the Gospels with educational concepts that work. He believes effective teaching leads to change in knowledge, in perspective, in attitudes, and ultimately in behavior. Along with providing eight key concepts of effective teaching essential to real transformation in the lives of students, Coley also includes practical illustrations of how the key concepts look in a typical lesson. Each chapter ends with questions for deeper reflection or group discussion.
