IV. Weaving the Curriculum Together
The examples below illustrate how the content may affect the ways in which we teach. The chart is merely suggestive of the kind of issues the teacher must consider when constructing the curriculum.
Why are we teaching?
CONTENT
What are we teaching?
CONTENT

CONTINUITY
'to present every one perfect in Christ'
(Col. 1:28)
'to be conformed to the image of His Son'
(Rom. 8:29)
growth toward or in:
-justification
-sanctification
-vocation
-glorification
the WAY
focus on the HANDS - teach by DOING
in the LIVED WORLD: home, work, school, communities
teacher as MODEL in walking the Way of God
How might these materials be presented in ways that make them as culturally accessible as possible?
e.g.: stories, questions, illustrations, teaching methodology, etc.
How can we build upon the previous knowledge of the learners?
How can we prepare them for future learning?
How should my knowledge of my learners' developmental levels affect my teaching?
the TRUTH
focus on HEADS - lecture may be most useful
FORMAL learning setting may make sense
teacher as committed STUDENT of God's Truth
the LIFE
focus on HEARTS -'soul-shaping' exercises
INFORMAL, e.g.: in worship experiences or prayer groups
teacher as thirsty PARTAKER of God's Life
the STORY
use of drama and other forms of 'storytelling' are appropriate
FORMAL and INFORMAL; e.g.: church year, sacraments
teacher as CO-PARTICIPANT in the Story God is 'telling'
