Adult.
We use the Rotation system of Sunday school. Each Rotation is six or
seven weeks long. Students experience one Bible lesson or story
for the weeks of the rotation, each Sunday from a different learning
perspective. Classes stay together in individual grade level groups,
and go each Sunday to a different room for the lesson.
Guides
Guides are adults who accompany each
class to its designated place each Sunday. Guides sign up for one
rotation at a time and are welcome to serve as many rotations as they
wish.
Shepherds.
These are high school age people who
assist either the teacher or the guide. They sign up for one rotation
at a time and are welcome to serve more.
Teachers
Each teacher chooses the area of
his/her choice and teaches that lesson for the entire rotation. One
week the students will be 1st graders, the next 2nd graders (not
necessarily
in that order) and so on until all grade levels have been taught.
Teachers commit to only one rotation at a time. They may sign up for
other rotations as they wish.
