How do you coax your busy adult students to read their scriptures and manuals before coming to class? Take a tip from Seminary!

FARMS star[offsite link]

Your lesson is prepared and it’s on a challenging topic. The material assumes a certain amount of background knowledge….and then a student introduces a non-member guest. Now what?

Priesthood star

Relief Society star

Simplifying Callings star
In General Conference, we were counseled to simplify our callings. Tips for following this counsel.

Someone in your class isn´t going to like what your lesson is about. How do you avoid hurt feelings or arguments?
