In Search of Engaging Bible Classes

Introduction

The Bible’s Message is too important to leave to chance.  Bible classes are often at the mercy of a church’s purchased curriculum, and teachers are left untrained in best practices.  With training, students can be more engaged and teachers can present these important concepts and lessons with more success.

Program Explanation

Tap into the unique expertise of a professional, award-winning educator who has been an active member of the Lord’s church for decades.  The weekend’s target is to help students become better students and teachers become better teachers.  Friday’s evening presentation kicks things off, followed by a full Saturday morning (with options for a Sunday follow-up).

Dale Hoggatt brings his experience to you in this important set of presentations.  Participants learn how to present the Word of God with effective questioning skills, classroom discussion, and activities that get classes to think deeper.

Experience

During Hoggatt’s 32-year career as a classroom teacher in America’s public schools, he received:

• The Chamber of Commerce’s Golden Apple Award
• The School district’s Teacher of the Year title
• The State’s History Teacher of the Year award

He has been trained on site in Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, and Virginia.  In addition to his Bachelor’s degrees in Communication and Education and his Master’s degree in Teaching, he currently supervises student-teachers for Pittsburg State University in Kansas.  He serves as a master teacher for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History in New York City and recently wrote curriculum for the Lincoln Presidential Foundation in Illinois.
​
Dale also preaches for churches of Christ in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma when needed (as many as 44 weeks of the year), and he teaches adult Bible classes.

Engaging Bible Classes means activating discussion with academic rigor. Participants are invited to enter the conversation in a non-threatening process, all while focusing on Scripture.
​
Invite area congregations to participate with you!  The presentation invites everyone to become better learners, ministers, and stewards of the Word.
