About Curriculum Design

The list of concepts identified may help in the selection of speakers and topics but they are not meant to be an outline for a week's teaching as speakers' topics may draw from concepts in two or more of the categories. In addition it may be used as a check list to help guide the school week by week. As the school progresses, the school leader can use this list to keep track of concepts that are covered by speakers, books, etc. so that he or she can address the remaining concepts in some other way (Bible study, devotionals, etc.).

Topics​

The concepts identified in each category must be imparted in some way in the context of the DTS.

The following reflect speakers topics for a whole or partial week's teaching that satisfy this requirement. Note a topic may draw concepts from more than one category. Remember these topics are possible ways to cover the concepts.
