Basic strategies and principles will be taught to enable those having little or no experience in formal teaching to develop a level of confidence and competence in teaching others. It will likewise be of value to experienced teachers as the course incorporates the art of teaching like Jesus and integrating the Christian values affirmed by NCFI.
Learning Objectives
