We have discovered a new and exciting Sunday School program that we will be using beginning the 2008-2009 Sunday School year. This program is called the Workshop Rotation Model. “The Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday School began in 1990 when a Presbyterian church in Chicago decided it was time to reinvent Sunday School or close it down. By 1995 enough churches in the Chicago area had successfully adopted the Model to call it a movement. www.rotation.org was created in 1997 to provide resources, lesson plans, and community for the grassroots movement. Many of the original Chicago Rotation educators began organizing conferences. Several started publishing ministries. As of 2005, it is estimated that over 8000 churches in the U.S. and Canada have now adopted or adapted the Model. And after a decade of showing little interest, several major denominational and independent publishers are now publishing Rotation-style curriculum. The Workshop Rotation Model concentrates on the major stories of the Bible over and over again. It eschews (shuns) the popular but educationally unsound lectionary idea of changing the story each week. The model's philosophy recognizes that kids not only love repetition, but they need it to develop a lasting memory and understanding of content. The multi-intelligences (creative methods) approach in the model isn't a fad or merely kid-friendly, it is calculated to take advantage of our student's God-given thirst for multi-modal learning. Traditional designs have long attempted to teach through multimedia, but their frenetic lessons with six or more different steps, a game, a craft, Bible study and music all in 45 minutes left our teachers breathless. And few had the gifts to teach in each mode properly.“ At Christ the King, we are teaching major Bible stories and concepts through kid-friendly multimedia workshops: an Art Workshop, Drama, Games, Puppets, Storytelling, Audio-Visual, Computers, Textiles, Cooking, and any other educational media we can get our hands on. Using this program we are teaching the same story in each workshop for three, four, or five weeks, rotating the kids to a different workshop each week. We think it will be exciting for the children and the teachers! Our kids will have a chance to really learn and remember the stories through repetition and different creative methods. The teachers and their assistants are able to teach the story through a media that they are most comfortable with, using lessons provided by the Workshop Rotation Model. Information included in the above is from the article, the “Workshop Rotation Model, A Brief Introduction & History“, © 1998. Revised 2005. By Neil MacQueen on the website rotation.org.
