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

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.

Well, I think they are questions that shape the very nature of the educator so naturally they will impact the classroom environment. They are also big questions that we address in Biology as we study what makes something living we also discuss where all that life came from. That discussion naturally leads to discussion regarding purpose as a child of the one true God.

In every way. As a Bible teacher, these questions and answers should be integrated into every lesson and clearly demonstrable and applicable to every student.

The concepts discussed in this section apply to my work in the classroom because all of the information points to how Jesus wants us to learn and grow. By looking at John and his life as an example, I can demonstrate this love. I can also see how God loves each one of us. It is important for students to understand that none of us are perfect and that is ok. God loves us anyways.
