<\/a>Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\nTeacher Training<\/u><\/p>\n
Mission Generation trains teachers in the concepts of the principals and the application of they key concepts. Additionally, they are provided with a digital guide and lesson plan. Teachers are way overworked and many times are underappreciated. Our goal is to make the application of this program as simple as possible for teachers to successfully execute the lessons provided by the Mission Generation textbooks.<\/p>\n
Parent Conference<\/u><\/p>\n
Parents have one unique thing in common: they want their children to be successful. This one thing has united people with a broad diversity of culture, religion and ethnicity. Mission Generation\u2019s sponsored parent conferences exploit this huge opportunity for unity and harmony by teaching parents how the curriculum is used in schools.<\/p>\n
Maintenance <\/strong><\/p>\n Chaplaincy Program<\/u><\/p>\n Mission Generation\u2019s school program has paved they way for an after school chaplaincy program. Local churches provide volunteers who are trained as chaplains to address emotional and spiritual issues that come to light in the school system.<\/p>\n Schools are not equipped to deal with these sensitive issues alone. Counseling sessions with students have sometime revealed shocking stories of sex trafficking, gang participation, bullying and other topics that might not have been revealed without the help of Mission Generation\u2019s chaplains.<\/p>\n The goal of the chaplains is to ultimately lead students to a relationship with Jesus Christ to help release some of their burdens and to support their discipleship with others in the word of God.<\/p>\n Evaluation<\/u><\/p>\n At the beginning of every school year, students and teachers complete a questionnaire about life, relationships, health, economics, attitude, study habits and future plans. During the year, teachers are given online materials and trainings. At the end of the year, a questionnaire is also distributed. The questionnaires and feedback from the students, teachers and parents during the school year is compared to government benchmarks where applicable to document the impact of the program.<\/p>\n During this process, an unexpected discovery was made. Young people were becoming change agents in their communities as they shared the principles and values they learned at school. The second wave proved to be just as powerful at bringing people to Jesus as the school program and chaplaincy program combined.<\/p>\n Results<\/strong><\/p>\n The Program\u2019s Reach to Date<\/u><\/p>\n 52,288 teachers certified to use the program<\/p>\n 91,357 parents attending a conference<\/p>\n 1,801,260 students in the program<\/p>\n Prayer in the Classroom<\/u><\/p>\n Contrary to popular belief, prayer in the public school system is completely legal if it is initiated by the student. Our program is deigned to motivate students to communicate with their Lord and Savior. A first grader in Oklahoma initiated a prayer meeting with some students. The lesson she learned that day before initiating the prayer meeting was called, \u201cI Am Loved.\u201d The lesson is about a lost sheep who is found by a shepherd and brought back to its mother.<\/p>\n The lesson ends with some questions. One included, \u201cWho loves me?\u201d The first graders were excited to tell the teacher who loved them. All of a sudden, one of the students dropped to his knees and started praying out loud. When the teacher kindly asked him to finish his prayer in the back of the room, half of the class stood up to go with him. That day was a testimony to the power of prayer in public school.<\/p>\n Social Impact<\/u><\/p>\n One of the many noticeable observations was the overall improvement of a community when the school program was adopted throughout an entire school district. When several students in a geographical area were involved in righteousness that can only come from a relationship with Jesus Christ, the impact of the program was multiplied greatly. The most exciting aspect of Mission Generation\u2019s impact is that according to superintendents whose schools used the program, 83% of the students decided to trust Christ as their Lord and savior.<\/p>\n Increase<\/strong> Improvements<\/strong> Decrease<\/strong> These results are highly impactful, but we need your help financially to continue bringing these results to the United States.
