Why You Must Watch Your Tapes

Here are three reasons why I ask my Sunday School co-teachers to watch the video recordings of their teaching sessions.

1. Humble ourselves.

We tend to think that we are better than we are. And the Bible is clear that we should not have pride in ourselves. So watching the tapes is a humbling endeavor. There is always room to improve. 

2. Become a better teacher.

It is difficult to recall and remember our lessons after teaching. We also might not have a sober perspective. Watching the tapes helps us learn from our mistakes, see what worked and what didn’t work, and find areas for follow up.

3. Love the students.

Watching the tapes is a way to love the students because you are able to find ways to improve and become a better teacher. So watching the tapes is not merely self-improvement for your own sake. It is for the sake of the students.
