Teachers are asked to agree to the covenant at the beginning of their term of teaching. When teachers are reappointed, they should renew their covenant each year by indicating their agreement.
Administrators use different methods in asking teachers to give allegiance to the covenant.
In some churches the covenant is printed and distributed to the teachers for each of them to sign. Other Sunday schools post it on the bulletin board for all to read. Either way, each Sunday school should have a covenant by which teachers should live and work. There should also be a dedication day where teachers come to the front of the church to dedicate themselves to their responsibility. Each point of the covenant is presented by the pastor or Sunday school superintendent.
