Faculty Development Seminars
GATS holds Faculty Development seminars in over 80 nations annually. The focus of these seminars is to train and equip local Bible School instructors and to put tools in their hands to enable them to be more effective in the classroom and in mentoring Bible School students.
GATS has prepared over 80 Faculty Development lessons that are geared to equip Bible School teachers and to better prepare them for the fulfillment of their teaching ministry.
Faculty Development seminars should be held annually in any nation with a Bible School training program. Most seminars span a two-day period, but they can be held in the evenings, on the weekend, one day, or whenever best meets the needs and seminar culture of a nation.
For every 18 lessons successfully completed by a Bible School teacher, they will receive an Advance Educator’s Certificate from GATS. We currently offer certificates for four levels of completion.
