No model works in every situation.
In fact, the case can be made that a model or cook-book youth program
only works in the original situation. However, some of these have
good ideas and can open us to other possibilities. They are worth
reading and drawing from even if it has to be modified to fit a
particular setting.
- Don't believe the hype – there is no perfect program or approach.
- Work from the assumption that what you are reading/hearing about/being taught will not work, as is, in your situation.
- Read the material with an open mind:
- What can be extracted from it that will work?
- What ideas or approaches challenge you to think differently?
- Picture what it would be like to implement at least part of the program
- For anything you decide to adopt, consider:
- What will not work well for your kids, church, you?
- What needs to be tweaked or adjusted?
