The power of a philosophy is strong. It anchors us, yes, but it also influences how we behave. Dwelling upon the second of the two has been the most important point I have gleaned from this lesson. If I am truly anchored to my philosophy, I will be compelled to behave in that truth. This is why it is essential to establish our philosophy on the Word of God as Christian educators. If I establish my philosophy in a clear way, I can influence my students with my behavior in the classroom, whether that be positive or negative. However, when my philosophy is planted firmly in God’s truth, my students can only benefit from that.

It’s a good reminder to keep Christ in the forefront of our classrooms. Knowing we are influencing our students in ways that they may never forget should inspire us to do an even better job.

It is a reminder that the big questions will be asked no matter the grade level of the students. By giving the students a biblical foundation of knowing who God is through the scriptures, we will be able to guide each student through the development of their own view of each big life question they ask.

I work with little kids, and they always have big questions. Pointing to scripture, faithful leaders, and earth evidence all around us to show them God in all things.

Being an administrator, our reach goes beyond a single classroom and into the entire student body. Understanding our leadership and teaching philosophies based on biblical perspective effects our every interaction with students, teachers and families. Having a solid foundation in Christ and in our personal perspective is vital to ensuring that the biblical concepts are incorporated into daily routine and understanding.
