How do you feel about developing biblically integrated units/lessons? Overwhelmed? Excited? Hesitant? Explain.

I am excited to build my lessons on God’s word. I have already been doing this, but I am excited to take it to the next level this school year.
-
I am excited and overwhelmed at the same time. Because of my college and career background many of these questions are second nature to me and I naturally incorporate them into my teaching. The overwhelming nature is the time it takes with all of the other responsibilities that come with being a new teacher and trying to balance it all while not losing focus on the real reason I am in the classroom.

Our school introduced us to Curriculum Trac this spring. It is a website for unit planning which includes a section for Biblical Integration. You should have heard the moans and groans from the teachers. Also the comment, “Are we going to get paid more for this?” It was comical, but also somewhat disturbing. I am one of those “freaks” that loves to do curriculum mapping and designing. It brings we many many hours of joy.

It does feel very overwhelming to me. I have learned when I feel that way to just begin with something small. I think in many ways I already integrate biblical concepts and our curriculum thankfully does a very good job of helping us. I have not been as intentional as I should be about biblical integration, however, and have much to learn. I can see how over time it will become second nature, but I sure wish I knew someone who could mentor me on a personal level.

I think it will be fun to develop biblically integrated lessons into my curriculum. There is so much wisdom in the Bible and I think that showing the students how to apply it today will help them in the future.
