Lds Missioncast

Our first interview is a two part episode…sort of.  I interviewed Dr. Taylor Halverson who is a teaching and learning consultant at BYU. In other words, he helps teach BYU professors to be better teachers. He offers some much needed advice to all gospel teachers, but especially missionaries. In this first part we discuss the do’s and don’t of teaching the gospel using Metaphor or Analogy. In part 2 we offer an approach that Taylor calls, Talking is not Teaching. It is a complete re-framing of the approach to teaching the gospel that mirrors much of what is being rolled out in Sunday schools and in Priesthood and Relief society with the Come, Follow Me style of gospel learning. This episode is one you are going to want to listen to a number of times to make sure you have these things ingrained in your approach to teaching the gospel. Part 2 will be on next weeks episode, so stay tuned for that. Link from our interview with Taylor: http://ctl.byu.edu/tip/found-metaphors-strategy-applied-creative-thinking   F
