Christian Educators' Guide to Evaluating and Developing Curriculum

There are two means of ensuring you find a curriculum that meets your church's needs:

1. Use clear guidelines to evaluate purchased curriculum resources
2. Write curriculum resources that are in harmony with a congregation's priorities

With the Christian Educator's Guide to Evaluating and Developing Curriculum, educators will learn how to:

• Articulate the goal and purpose of your congregation's educational ministry
• Identify the Six Key Elements of your Christian Education program
• Use the Six Key Elements to evaluate purchased curriculum resources
• Develop a scope and sequence for writing your own resources
• Write session plans that are in agreement with your Six Key Elements
• Equip writers to develop session plans consistent with your educational purpose
• Train teachers to use the curriculum materials
• Evaluate the curriculum resources you have written

Reproducible worksheets throughout make this a highly practical resource for Christian education committees and teaching workshops. ERRATA: Please note that the book's list of curriculum publishers in the appendix did not include Congregational Ministries Publishing, Presbyterian Churches USA. We regret the oversight.
