Describe a recent time when you’ve been discouraged with a student’s progress. Have you witnessed a change in the student’s life, or are you still waiting for that change to occur?
-
I am still waiting for that change to occur. I continue to pray for that child and know that even if God did not bring about change in that child’s life at the point that I was his teacher, that I am blessed to have nurtured the seed.
-
I have a student who is not sure of his salvation. I have been trying to encourage him, and to keep sharing God’s Word, and to pray for him. Still waiting on the change!
-
Having a student who had a negative attitude, excuse, etc.. towards all learning. I had to have a heart change, pray for them and my attitude toward them. Each interaction I needed to engage in a positive way and eventually the heart change happens and a connection is formed.

Students of young ages tend to be very competitive and that can lead to disrespectful and aggressive behavior towards classmates. Sometimes I feel discouraged how this kind of behavior can disrupt the group culture and environment of love and cooperation I want to create in my classroom. For this matter, I pull scripture and confront them with what God has to say about it, I allowed time to discuss this kind of behavior and how it can affect their future life and the consequences it might bring for them. I have seen improvements and I am confident the word of God will do the work in their hearts.

I teach all schools art. I have 5th grader that is so disruptive in course, I have tried all kinds of disciplines and scripture to make him see how god sees him and values him as his creation, I always do that prayerfully. But I noticed something this semester, there is gradual change.
