Responsibilities of the Teacher Improvement Coordinator

The ward teacher improvement coordinator supports priesthood and auxiliary leaders in their efforts to improve gospel teaching. The responsibilities of the ward teacher improvement coordinator include:

• Helping priesthood and auxiliary leaders plan and present teacher improvement meetings (see pages 7–9).

• Making final preparations for teacher improvement meetings, such as arranging for a place to meet and ensuring that necessary materials are available. This will enable the leaders to devote time to their other responsibilities.

• Instructing priesthood and auxiliary leaders on principles of teacher improvement. This may be done in ward council meetings and in presidency and group leadership meetings, as requested by leaders.

• Consulting with individual teachers, as invited.

• Serving as instructor of the Teaching the Gospel course (see page 10) unless the bishopric assigns someone else to teach it.

When possible, the ward teacher improvement coordinator should be an experienced teacher with an understanding of how gospel teaching helps people come unto Christ.
