Firelight employs Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences as a framework for teaching Bible stories. The curriculum is geared toward children age 2 through junior high and will be available for Sunday school classes to use in the Fall 2001 school year.
Firelight brings together all the best elements for a student to learn and a volunteer to teach.
It provides a flexible format to teach age-old stories in ways that reach today's children. Firelight engages an array of learning techniques that keep sessions moving-through games, drama, music, or journaling. There is something for every learner. The experiential learning stimulates learners to come to know Bible characters as real people. Augsburg Fortress is offering free introductory Firelight workshops in March, April, and May 2001.
