We've used the same curriculum for years. Why should I come to a workshop?

The activities you will participate in at these workshops will apply to any curriculum you may be using. Most curriculums present information. This workshop will show you ways to impart this information in a way that the children learn. We'll show you how to assess the learning styles of your children and use that information to be a more effective teacher. We will introduce you to some of the new scientific research on the brain and how, as teachers, we can take advantage of this information to enrich the learning experience of all the children in the class. We will show you how to focus on what's most important in your teaching ministry -- leading children into a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. You can use the best teaching techniques possible. The workshops will model some of the latest teaching techniques, all of which can be put to use immediately in your own classes.

How much of my time will this require?

The workshop will last approximately 3 hours, but you'll want to plan additional time before or after the workshop to meet fellow teachers, talk with workshop presenters, and browse our resource display.

How much does this workshop cost?

Only $25 per person. You may charge this fee to your personal Cokesbury account or your church's Cokesbury account. If you do not have a Cokesbury account we will be happy to open one for you. You can pre-register and then pay by check or major credit card at the door the day of the workshop.

What will I receive as a workshop attendee?

Your registration covers both workshop sessions as well as a 96-page workbook with even more teaching helps. You'll also enjoy fellowship and networking time with other teachers and leaders in your area.

Will there be materials available for purchase?

Yes. At each workshop there will be a Cokesbury sales display featuring Christian education resources, children's books, teacher helps, devotional materials, and spirituality resources. Curriculum displays and free catalogs will also be available.

I'm not sure about my schedule. Do I really need to register?

Walk-in attendees will be welcomed as space permits; however, to ensure that we have adequate space and materials available to accommodate you, we ask that everyone register at least two weeks in advance of the event.

Frequently Asked Questions Who should attend these seminars? Adults (volunteer and paid) who work with youth Teachers of middle school/junior high Sunday school Persons who lead youth in worship Pastors who lead and support others in ministry with youth Bring a team!

I'm confused. Is this workshop focusing on children or youth? This one focuses on youth. However, there is another one for teachers of children held at the same time and place. "Meeting the Fun Factor and Feeding the Soul" addresses the needs of youth; "Come and See, the Lord Is Good" is the concurrent workshop focusing on children. So bring your friends who teach children's Sunday school too for a special time of their own. Is this workshop just for people who work with junior high youth? Junior high/middle school youth are the focus of two of the three sessions. The other session is about worship with youth-of all ages! How much of my time will this seminar require? The seminar, including all three sessions, will last approximately 3 hours, but you'll want to plan additional time beforehand or afterwards to network with folks from other churches, to talk with the presenter, and to browse the display. How much does this event cost? The charge is only $25, which includes getting your own copy of a special book on ministry with junior high youth, by Drew Dyson (a $15 value itself!). You may charge the cost of the seminar to your personal Cokesbury account or to your church's Cokesbury account, or you may pay by check or major credit card. If you do not have a Cokesbury account, we will be happy to open one for you. Will there be resources available for purchase? Yes. At each event the Cokesbury display will feature new youth resources, related books, devotional materials, and worship resources. Some items will be offered at a substantial discount. Free catalogs will be available. I'm not sure of my schedule. Do I really need to register in advance? Walk-in attendees are certainly welcome. However, to ensure that we have adequate space and materials to accommodate everyone, we encourage persons to register at least two weeks in advance. To register, call 1-800-251-8591 or click here.
