What if assessing your teaching was as insightful as the lesson itself? In this episode, we dig into what makes a class genuinely successful—and how we can actually know if we’re doing it well.

We talk about what it means to teach the restored Gospel, not just from a script, but as a shared, exploratory experience with those we teach. We break down the essential role of engagement, the impact of authentic (and sometimes uncomfortable) questions, balancing preparation with flexibility, and then how to evaluate your own teaching. Some of the key points we cover:

How lively, unscripted dialogue transforms an ordinary lesson into meaningful learning
The difference between asking for participation and truly cultivating it
Five core question types that unlock deeper conversation (binary, factual, explanatory, introspective, transformative)
Why most faith-based lessons lack introspective questions—and what happens when we add them
The power and potential pitfalls of using data and feedback (even with AI!) to evaluate and improve our teaching
