Are you a “teacher of redemption” in your classroom? Explain.
-
I am not a teacher that shames their students when they make a poor choice. I’m quick to point out that we all make mistakes. The goal is to learn from those mistakes so we don’t repeat them. It’s important for kids to not only be forgiving, but see others be forgiving towards them. It’s important that they know what it feels like to be forgiven so they may be quicker to forgive others.
-
I try really hard to give grace whenever I can. I love restoration, and I try to model that in how I interact with my students.
-
I try my best to be a “teacher of redemption” by correcting unfavorable student behavior and offering my students a fresh start each day.
-
Yes, I hope that I am a teacher of redemption. I always tell my students that God loves us no matter what and so do I. I tell them that we all make mistakes and there are consequences to those mistakes, but it’s because God wants us to learn right from wrong. He does it because he loves us so much. I give them examples of when I make mistakes and the consequences I faced. It helps them to know that adults have consequences too.
-
I hope to be! I try to model del patience, forgiveness, and hope in my interactions with students. Speaking to them with love, even when there is a need to be firm and offering forgiveness so that we can move forward together.
