The Workshop Roation Model at FUPC
First United Presbyterian Church started using the Workshop Rotation Model for our Faith Education classes during the 2009-2010 Faith Education Program Year. This slide show represents some of the work done by teachers and students including a series of intergenerational workshops conducted during the Advent Season.

The Workshop Rotation Model
A Brief Introduction & History

This revised article is based on an original article which appeared in several denominational publications in the mid-1990s, including Presbyterian Outlook.
The Workshop Rotation Model for Sunday School began in 1990 when a Presbyterian church in Chicago decided it was time to reinvent Sunday School or close it down. By 1995 enough churches in the Chicago area had successfully adopted the Model to call it a movement.
www.rotation.org was created in 1997 to provide resources, lesson plans, and community for the grassroots movement. Many of the original Chicago Rotation educators began organizing conferences. Several started publishing ministries. As of 2005, it is estimated that over 8000 churches in the U.S. and Canada have now adopted or adapted the Model. And after a decade of showing little interest, several major denominational and independent publishers are now publishing Rotation-style curriculum.
