How do you feel about developing biblically integrated units/lessons? Overwhelmed? Excited? Hesitant? Explain.
-
The first thought would be overwhelmed! We do have biblical integration in place at our school, but I want it to be personal for my courses.
-
Overwhelmed and a little daunted. I can see some easy integration in certain lessons or subjects, but for some, it’s just really challenging. It can feel tacked on or attached just for the sake of following a rule. I can easily pull things into teachable moments, but planning it for every day is really challenging.
-
I feel excited with the tools I’m learning. This approach to education can be beneficial for students, as it helps them to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them and how to make wise decisions based on biblical values. Overall, developing biblically integrated units/lessons can be a powerful tool for educators looking to create a holistic approach to education that integrates faith, academics, and real-world application.

I already do it, so I’m happy to continue to do it.

My units teaching art center around the medium being used. Most of my integration is when we discuss great works of art. We look for what is good, beautiful, and True – the bigger truths. What does God say about what is going on in the painting? What is being communicated? Those kinds of questions and discussions are where we get the most authentic Biblical integration in art. I also often remind students that we do art, because we imitate the Great Artist.
