Multiple Teachers in class rooms

HIs there any "Official" direction on how many teachers are required per class room. I.E. can one brother teach a CTR7 class alone?? Or is there a need for a second teacher??

Thanks!!

Yes, a second teacher is required. See the detailed policy in Handbook 2, 11.8.1.

Is the same required for Sunday School teachers??

To clarify, per the Handbook, primary classes don't necessarily need to have two teachers. If a man is teaching, they just need to have a second adult present. Teachers in Sunday School or Relief Society or instructors in Elders Quorum or High Priest meetings don't need to have another adult present, because they are teaching adults. Similarly, Young Women and Aaronic Priesthood don't need a second teacher or adult because the teacher is always a woman or man, respectively.

What about youth Sunday school? 12-year-olds etc.

There's no policy requiring a second teacher for youth, that I've seen in the Handbook.

First Presidency's message March 26th, 2018:

"When adults are teaching children or youth in Church settings, at least two responsible adults should be present. The two adults could be two men, two women, or a married couple (see Handbook 2: Administering the Church [2010],11.8.1). Where it may not be practical to have at least two adults in a classroom, leaders should consider combining classes."

I did not see that quote in the link.

I see it in the document referenced at the above link:

It's on page 2, left-hand column, second paragraph (first full paragraph) up from the bottom.

Handbook 2 11.8.8

Does the second person have to have a blue card if they are not teaching?

Would you explain what a blue card is? This must be something instituted by your local leaders or area leaders. Is it something that shows that you have completed the Protecting Children and Youth training?

I'm assuming the blue card is some local legal requirement.

If so, the answer is to check what the legislation requires. There will almost be a person in charge of keeping an eye on things for the church. If your bishop doesn't know, he should contact the stake president. If the stake president doesn't know, he should contact his area70.

If you are uncertain about this, there's likely others in your unit who are also uncertain. Whenever you find the answer that applies for where you live, it seems prudent to suggest to your local leaders that they provide training (or at least communication) about those specifics to all the teachers and their leaders.
