• Effective use of the teacher guide, disciple guide and all supplemental teaching resources
• How to plan a lesson
• How to use DiscipleLand puppets
• Accessing and using DiscipleLand's online resources
• Note: when training both preschool and elementary teachers, it is best to schedule an hour with each group individually.
