Because of the high calling of a Sunday School teacher, it’s necessary that each one be . . .
PRAYERFUL
True teachers pray. They pray daily for those in their class & for God’s guidance in their own lives.
PREPARED
Worthy teachers really know their lessons. They make careful & prayer-ful preparation each Sunday, adapting the materials to needs & problems of those they teach.
PRESENT
Loyal teachers are regular in attendance. They’re never absent without notifying their supervisor as early as it’s known that they’ll be away.
PUNCTUAL
Always arrive early, preferably by 10-15 minutes. If one student beats you, you’re late.
PATTERNWORTHY
Helpful teachers serve as examples. They try, with God’s help, to live so that their influence is an inspiration to pupils.
PATIENT
Earnest teachers have patience.
They try to manifest sympathy & understanding 8hdealings with each individual. They are also patient about waiting for the oft-delayed results of their teaching.
PARTNERLIKE
Genuine teachers work with other members of the group. They do their utmost to win the confidence of the people with whom they work & to be true friends to everyone.
If these P’s reach maturity, they need to be cultivated, watered & helped in every way possible.
