Look Here:

Blue Book- Revelation Through Prayer- objective and explain portion

Look at the words that everyone wrote in the context of this fundamental

Thoughts:

• Early- we invite others early so that they can start building that relationship with god
• as soon as someone is aware
• before the need arrives- then they have the resource to use because it’s already been taught
• naturally- something becomes natural when you do it often, prayer done often becomes natural
• if we are doing things early and often then prayer should be done soon within a lesson
• it prepares them to keep the commandments
• what can missionaries do when they aren’t with the investigator to constantly remind them
• why do we want it to be early, so that it becomes habitual

Have you heard of a flipped classroom?

Majority of the studying will be done outside of the class, inside of class is the application

With new online and iPad things the MTC is really wanting to try a flipped classroom approach

Zone 5 has already been doing it for about a month

It will SOON begin to be done area wide

New Schedules will be coming out to each zone

Day shift are practice shifts and night shift is study shift

Zone 5 what do you think so far?

• we are surprised at how much the missionaries understand about the fundamental before they apply it
• There is usually something they didn’t get from their studies that you need to adjust for, so we many have to start out with a very simple practice and then see where they’re at
• If they need to know it for the next day, they retain the information better
• practices need to be seen as learning/revelation experiences 

Learning Pyramid - we are trying to take higher retention rate things and have those be a time when the teacher is there

Engage->Study->Gauge Understanding->Practice->Follow up

first two- night, second two- day

we expect the missionaries to practice between 60-70 minutes

Activity:

Read through every word on the 4 pages in the fundamental

• Highlight items that stick out to you differently
• Mark every activity you haven’t done
• Mark every video that you don’t know immediately what it is

Consider and Create: How can we use these pages to create epic studies and practices for the missionaries 

Object: Understand how to create effective studies and practices for a flipped classroom

This will begin within the next few weeks. Look out for an email and more information about when your zone will start.

Keep thinking in flipped classroom mode!

Is there anything you can tell right now that you need in terms of training?

• when there are bigger districts it’s harder to manage everyone.. with and without a resource. 
• How can we structure practices that build on each other
• Setting up effective practices
• Engaging and Gauging
• If you are helping studies, how do you help that move towards practices
• How can 1 resource help multiple districts in all of their study time
• How does a teacher prep a class for a flipped classroom
• Training on how to help older missionaries do things on their own
  How do we make practices a learning activity

If you have any more questions, email, text, call Lissy as soon as they come up!

This is a learning experience for ALL of us!! Help out with your questions.
