This lesson presents a series of examples that will help the Learner understand a key skill. We will use lessons like these to highlight real-world examples of a skill. The slides below can show images illustrating the examples. 

When sharing examples, we want to pay special attention to handle these things carefully. General principles for examples:

• Take care to share examples from a variety of contexts and ministry types. We don’t want feature only well-known, well-funded ministries, but also smaller and resource-limited organizations.
• These examples are real people who are doing their best. We will not be critical of their work.
• Featuring a ministry example is not necessarily an endorsement of the organization or its members and champions. Whenever possible, we should avoid controversial examples, as they can distract from the learning experience, diminishing the learning value 
• Sometimes, it can be effective to show negative examples, things not to do. In these cases, we should either:
  • Create artificial examples, such as “Back 2 School Ministries” 
  • Anonymize the example by redacting all identifying information or creating a fictional facsimile of the example
  • Negative examples should always be accompanied by an explanation that they do not represent real organizations
