Are you a “teacher of redemption” in your classroom? Explain.
-
I might be a little too redeeming in my classroom. My personality has always been to see the good in everyone and forgive others for their mistakes. Sometimes people have taken advantage of me because of this.
-
My philosophy is that since i receive forgiveness from God anytime i get God offended, my students must also receive forgiveness from me whenever they misbehave. We are all humans and we are prone to errors and mistakes. Christian educators should make their classroom an abode of redemption. When we fail to discipline our students in love, we may find it difficult to win their souls for Christ.
-
Our school utilizes restorative classroom management. When I make a mistake I try to admit it and ask God and my students for forgiveness. I also try to encourage them to do the same. We remind each other of God’s redemptive love and mercy and how we need to show this to each other as well. We talk about sin, and how we want to honor God and glorify Him through our words and actions. Also, how we eagerly await His return.
-
I am guilty for I am not doing enough. After hearing this.
-
I strive to be an administrator who emphasizes redemption in my classroom, though I recognize I can always grow in my awareness of this aspect of teaching. I often remind both myself and my students that my purpose is to “Set you up to succeed.” This statement speaks not only to their academic success but also to their restored relationship with God when they fall short. There is always space for repentance, as the goal of discipline is to restore a right relationship with God and foster a heart transformation, not just a change in behavior.
