Are you a “teacher of redemption” in your classroom? Explain.
-
I’d like to think so, even if I don’t always do so perfectly. WHen students make mistakes or misbehave, I try my best to guide them to the right direction as Christ wills.
-
Yes, there are times where asked students for forgiveness because I crossed a line when feeling like I need to be a “tough teacher.” As a follower of Christ, we need to see that reconciliation and redemption go hand in hand, they are essentials with our walk with the Lord and with our students.
-
Yes, in solving math problems, we all make mistakes. I never embarrass a student who give an incorrect answer, but I encourage the student to try again. I give students the opportunity to take another version of a test or quiz after giving individual feedback on the first assessment if a student does poorly.
-
I teach my students that we all make mistakes and sin every day, but we have Christ standing up for us to receive forgiveness. They will always find a forgiving environment in my classroom, but I encourage them to find wisdom in all they face in order not to make the same mistake again.
-
Absolutely. Children need to know how to deal with making mistakes and that we are designed to make them. “Tomorrow is a new day” is a phrase I use often.
