I do not personally know about the quality of every event, but when I do know something I will make a comment. Mary Lue Eastmond

• Study Guide Adaptable for Teacher Training
  published by Discipleship Resources. If you are looking for a good training outline for teachers of adults, this sounds like a jewel! I already have the Start Here book by Barbara Bruce and it is excellent – I use it a lot. The Lay Speakers Teach Adults book is a piece I will have on my shelf as soon as it’s available!  Mary Lue

• E-Christian Ed - online training

• Lay Speakers Teach Adults (by Diana L. Hynson) is a study guide that uses as the main text Start Here: Learning and Teaching With Adults by Barbara Bruce. This resource is prepared with the requirements for the lay speaking advanced course in mind, but is an appropriate teacher training tool for persons who are not lay speakers.
