How do you feel about developing biblically integrated units/lessons? Overwhelmed? Excited? Hesitant? Explain.
-
I feel excited. I have been teaching for a few years now and I have been able to teach the same grade and use the same curriculum. I have become more familiar with how the years play out and the content that I am teaching. I feel like the more confident I am with knowing what is coming up, the easier I am able to plan more intentionally and integrate more effectively. I am excited to add more Biblical integration to my lessons.

Being a Bible Teacher I enjoy looking at the big picture and then making the larger concepts (Units) of a curriculum palatable to the learner (individual lesson plans).

I believe this is critical to our success as teacher, because in planning we are being intentional about integrating Biblical principles into our lessons. That allows for the Lord to guide and mold our lessons. It also frees us to be more focused on the students and less on daily planning when the time to teach comes. When we integrate the Word of God it also brings a special blessing to our teaching, God will open the childrens minds and hearts to learn more and also to share more. As they become more vulnerable and trusting, they will be more willing to be instructed in righteousness.

I would say that I’m mostly hesitant because of how much thought and energy it would take to integrate biblical concepts into all my lessons. I struggle with the idea of effectively incorporating biblical aspects into all my lessons.

As a pastor I am always thrilled to find ways that connect the Bible to every day lessons. If a teacher truly puts their heart and mind to the process, they can be prepared to give answers without being overwhelmed or hesitant to do so.
