REPORT TO GOD 

MEMORISE: My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2

READ: Psalms 121:1-8

MESSAGE:

There are lots of threats out there for you teenagers. Sometimes, its from your classmates, teachers or parents. When any of these threats can be handled by someone else, you report to that fellow. But sometimes, there is really no one that can handle the situation. At such times, you have only one person to turn to and that person is God. Report to Him.

Are things so difficult for your parents that they may be contemplating withdrawing you from school due to lack of funds to pay your fees? Report to God. Is your Landlord threatening to send your family packing for one reason or the other? Report to God. Are your parents constantly fighting and at the verge of divorce if something is not done fast? Report to God. There is nothing God cannot do. He said you should ask Him for whatever you want and He will do it.

Action Point:

Go ahead and report that situation bothering you to God now. Don’t stop praying. Ensure you pray about it until it is settled.

  INAUTHENTIC LEARNING   Beware of inauthentic learning most especially during this new normal life we and children now live. The information processing theory in psychology views learners as active investigators of their learning. This means that every learning process requires the learner's involvement.   Communicative learning approach was taken to an unusual dimension in 1944 around World War II by David Horsborgh with his innovative thinking and charismatic leadership he introduced activity-based learning at Rishi Valley School in India.   His philosophy emphasized that learning can be best when it is initiated by the surrounding environment and motivated by providing optimum opportunities to learners. Learners are viewed unique, intelligent, and talented. Therefore, learning must remain active, not passive, hands-on on the experiment, and student-centric.   Today in the New Normal, teaching and learning must adopt authentic learning.

SCHOOL CLOSURE LIKELY TO HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT ON SCHOOL CHILDREN.   Apart from the profound economic and social consequences the school lockdown has placed on the educational system in Nigeria, the lockdown may also bring traumatizing experience to the generation Z and Alpha. These are the generations that constitute our preschool, primary, secondary, and tertiary institutes. According to UNESCO, over 90% of the world’s students have been affected by the school closure. This is in addition to the 13.2 out of school children that were yet to receive education in Nigeria. How traumatizing can this lockdown really be to our children? A declaration of state emergency over rape and sexual violence against young ladies and children tripled during the country’s coronavirus lockdown. In some instances, the culprits were adolescents who should have been in school. The idle minds become the devil’s workshop. It took us just a simple announcement of school closure by the Honorable Min

LEARNING THROUGH INTER-DEPENDENCY     Wise teachers know that the purpose of teaching is from dependence to independence through inter-dependency. It is important to be realistic as far as teaching-learning process is concerned. Students will engage faster and better when we take them from the simple to the complex, known to the unknown And of course from the concrete to the abstract. This helps motivation and inspire effective teacher-learner rapport. Our students are like trees in the forest vegetation when they have attained their academic career. They may have started that journey relying on everyone around them, especially their teachers. We often defined education as the process of preparing the dependent child to becoming an independent adult, for his relevance in the society. The above assumed definition is incomplete in its operations without the absolute involvement of the inter-dependency of the individual students to his success and that of others around hi
