Leadership Training and Status of Project

I am back from Pathfinder Leadership training!  This weekend was long but worth it.  I have learned alot about how to better understand the kids and how to lead them in a way that will benefit them in the long run.  I have finished my proposal and I have found someone to be my mentor.  Mrs. Ford, a teacher at Oakbrook, has agreed to be my mentor. The reason that I have chosen her is because she has experience with working with children of many different ages and has methods that can be of help to me.  I am also working on trying to make this project more original and have been thinking about how to do this.  I am thinking that for the classwork that I can "personalize" the curriculum while at the same time retaining all that needs to be taught in order for the kids to move on to the next level of Pathfinders.  I am also trying to come up with some fun bible games and ways to help them want to learn rather than just learning because they have to. Our first club meeting is this Wednesday September 1, 2010.  Very excited for this upcoming Pathfinder year!
