How do the concepts discussed in this lesson apply to your work in your classroom?
-
It’s more than grades and having the head-knowledge. True, this is important to gauge their understanding. But Understanding must make its way to application. I am preparing my students for the “testing of their faith” which reveals what is really on the inside.
-
This brings a sobering reality to light. There are deep consequences and effects that may happen in the classroom. A student has the chance to absorb truth that could affect him for eternity.
-
The four concepts discussed in this lesson apply to my work on the way that I need to clearly emphasize to students the beginning and the end of our lives. Reflecting on John 1 and 3, and the bool of Revelation clarifies the Big question of life.
-
In our classrooms we are being Christ to others. We are preaching the gospel at all times, when necessary – using words. We are introducing the big questions of life and the biblical answers to these big questions to children that are eager to learn.
-
I need to have answered those questions for myself before ever becoming an educator because if I don’t, the kids will identify the hypocrisy immediately when I teach those precepts to the students. If one does not believe it, they will not walk it, and they definitely cannot teach it with any level of conviction. As a teacher, my job is to model these precepts, not just teach them. As you guide them through academics or vocational topics, there are so many ways that those fundamental truths come through your verbiage, and how you relate to your environment in front of them. My students love rabbit trails where we have much discussion on these topics.
