It is inevitable that there will be issues that arise in your classroom in regards to doctrinal controversies, academic challenges, absenteeism or student dropout, and student discouragement. These difficulties are addressed in pages 114 - 118. Please take the time to read carefully through this section so you can better facilitate your class sessions and encourage your students in the midst of real challenge. We do have a real enemy and he will seek to thwart the students training and progress. May the Lord pour his grace upon you as you lead.

However you choose to structure your learning format, and whatever you choose to do, the outline of managing a class session found in your TUMI Mentor Manual can help you facilitate a classroom meeting thoroughly and excellently.

Handling Projects and Student Assignments

Pages 106 - 113 of your TUMI Mentor Manual cover the description and guidelines for you as Mentor as you explain and evaluate the student's work for the module and course assignments for both our Capstone Curriculum and Foundations for Ministry Series: The Exegetical Project, The Ministry Project; The Book Reading and Precis Assignment; and Scripture Memory Assignment.

Print out the documents below and give to your students to help them better understand how to complete the Exegetical Project. If your students follow the steps listed here, they will grow immensely in their ability to exegete and communicate the truths of Scripture.

A comfortable, clean, and well-lit learning space adds dramatically to your students' ability to participate in a meaningful learning experience. Excellence should be the standard for every dimension of your learning and teaching venue, and your preparation, even in the smallest details of classroom management, will enhance the overall enrichment of your course and sessions. As in everything we do, we serve the Lord Christ, and he is worthy of our very best, to God's glory (Eccles. 9.10; Col. 3.17, 24; 1 Cor. 10.31)! For specific details about facilities, classroom preparation, equipment, supplies, and snacks, refer to pages 84 - 85 in your TUMI Mentor Manual.

Assigning, Recording, and Processing Student Grades

Your satellite and its training experiences exist to facilitate and equip leaders for the urban church. A formative and central element of that training is accurate and regular record keeping of student information and grading. Careful recording keeping helps you know the status of each student, keeping current in their contact information, and following their progress academically and ministerially.

A key part of your class preparation involves creating and distributing handouts for your students to keep them abreast of the course schedule, the weekly reading assignments and the importance and nature of critical thinking.
