Working with Patrons and Preparing a Lesson (April 22, 2026)

Image
This topic is one of our beginner lessons: Working With Patrons and Preparing a Lesson.  We will stress the one-on-one teaching model and offer suggestions on how to best prepare to give a Discovery Lesson that will benefit your patron and meet their needs.  Two model lessons will be demonstrated - one a get to know your ancestor lesson and the other a research discovery experience.  This is a great lesson for anyone who is newly called or hasn't had much experience in actually teaching others about family history. Priesthood leaders can also benefit from seeing this presentation as it can guide them in helping consultants learn their craft. Link to Presentation Link to PDF of slides
