Everyone is a teacher. And everyone can learn to teach better. That is the theme and substance of this revised edition of Teach Ye Diligently, a book that has become a premiere resource on gospel teaching since its initial publication in 1975.
A teacher by profession, Elder Boyd K. Packer of the Council of the Twelve draws upon personal experiences and observations in the classroom, as a teaching administrator, and in his own family to provide insightful interpretations of teaching principles that will help anyone who teaches in any type of situation.
There are suggestions to help the classroom teacher maintain discipline, provide a climate conducive to learning, and use principles that aid the learning process. For parents as well as those called formally to teach, there are suggestions on how to make difficult subjects more easily understood, how to answer hard questions, and how to get the attention of students.
Most of all, the author centers his message on the moral and spiritual aspects of good teaching. The text reflects the Lord’s admonition to “teach ye diligently and my grace shall attend you, that you may be instructed more perfectly…in all things that pertain unto the kingdom of God.”
This revised and expanded edition of Teach Ye Diligently is a timeless tool for all who desire to teach with power and effectiveness.
