There are those who have spent, maybe too much time on the languages or Toastmaster meetings, those who are excited about history or philosophy, but believe it or not, there is a right way and wrong way to teach and usually that is all that is missing to creating dynamic use of the talent you already have on hand.
Look upon the education process not as a specialist, but more like a general practitioner who can carry on the many phases of leadership. You will find that you eventually will be the one who has to equip others in this vital area whether you want to or not.
Your team will be in differing stages of personal development.Therefore use a setting most comfortable and use methods appropriate to learning abilities and interests.
One small note - a teacher trained in teacher's college may not be your best teacher. I find those who have the gift of teaching, seen more in the light as a spiritual gift, are the best in this area.
You may find that your role as mentor, may take on a key position in the development or teaching component at the beginning, therefore, prepare yourself in several ways to be teacher of teachers.
Don't be afraid to "borrow" a specialist from another organization and pray for receptive learners who help make teachers look good.
