How do the concepts discussed in this lesson apply to your work in your classroom?

I am currently working with the “more challenging” students to assist in the second-grade classrooms at a Christian school. It’s such a privilege because all day I get to have these little conversations with students who need to be reminded of the Truth–who God is, who they are, how they can overcome sin by His grace, etc. Not only do I get to be a tool used by the Lord to help them, but He keeps ministering to my heart as well.

I am currently not a teach in a school. I do like the concept that there is a purpose in life and a purpose for you as basis of education. If not, then when even bother with a education.

We are doing God’s work. The Christian philosophy of education applies to children all over the world. We are to carry the truths from the Scriptures to our students. Bible truths are the foundation/bedrock of what we need to teach. We can have an impact for future of our charges and for eternity. My work in the classroom is to help students “know and serve God.” Therefore I need to remember that and think ahead beyond just the subject matter. I should be a godly example and reinforce the truths of God’s Word.

The concepts discussed in this lesson apply to the work in my classroom because we start our day every morning with prayer. We acknowledge where our help comes from and what source we look to to guide us through our day. We also learn about the Bible and read different passages together in God’s word during Bible course to learn more about the world and man through God’s eyes. On a social-emotional level when students get in fights or act out, we go to scripture to understand why it is important to strive to love others and show the fruits of the spirit- and that our ultimate role model is Jesus.

I love that I work in a Christian School where I am not limited about teaching students about the importance of knowing the answers to the big questions of life, such as: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? What is the meaning of life? I love that I can answer them using scripture and keep them looking at life with eternity in mind. There were moments when I worked in Public Schools that I knew God had me there to point students to Him, and pray for them when I saw that their foundation wasn’t being set on Him. I always prayed for their salvation and knew that their next teacher might have a different influence on them. I knew God had a purpose for me during the short time I had my students, and he continues to use me anywhere He has me.
