The curriculum provides a variety of workshop activities which incorporate the seven intelligences, knowledge of child development, and interest of children. Our curriculum and the workshop rotation model offer repetition in a new and stimulating way. Children do not learn if the same thing is repeated over and over in the same way. If they didn't get it the first time, more of the same thing will get the same results. However, if the same concepts are repeated through different learning experiences, children experience greater retention.
Teachers can see light bulbs go on and connections made.
This is why children benefit from rotating to different workshops each Sunday. Over the course of a Bible unit children learn the same Biblical concepts and story in a variety of ways. Opportunities to make connections in learning need to be provided for learning to take place and be meaningful. The Potter's Workshop curriculum provides activities, mission projects, intergenerational activities, and reflective thinking opportunities that help children make meaningful connections from the Bible to their daily lives. Children do not only learn the Bible but live it.
