60 Second: Evaluating Your Teaching
Mar
Regular self-evaluation helps you grow as a communicator and shepherd. It’s not about perfection—it’s about faithfulness and progress.
1. Revisit the Main Point
Ask yourself: Did students clearly understand the one thing I wanted them to remember? If not, simplify next time.
2. Watch Student Engagement
Were students listening, responding, and interacting? Engagement often reveals clarity more than content depth.
3. Evaluate Scripture Use
Did the Bible drive the message, or did it just support your ideas? Strong teaching lets Scripture speak.
4. Reflect on Application
Did students leave knowing how to live this out this week? Teaching isn’t complete without a next step.
5. Invite Honest Feedback
Ask a trusted leader or student what connected and what didn’t. Outside perspective sharpens growth.
Pro Tip: Record your teaching occasionally. Watching yourself can be uncomfortable—but it’s one of the fastest ways to improve.
