How does your biblical worldview currently influence your role as a Christian educator?
-
The more I study the scriptures and meditate, the more I realize that my reality is centered around the logic of the scripture. This influences my mind and creates a significant shift in my perspective. Consequently, I become more rooted in God’s word, which enhances my understanding of how to view the world through God’s perspective. This profound change positively impacts my entire being and my role as a Christian educator enabling me to impart God’s truth and reality to the children.

My biblical worldview influences how I view my purpose, my students, and how I teach. It helps me see education as a tool for God’s work. I understand that my classroom can be a place where God’s truth reaches individuals who may have never encountered it before. I provide students with not only academic knowledge but also a foundation for understanding their place in God’s plan, equipping them for both this life and eternity.

My biblical worldview sets the pace for everything I do as a kindergarten teacher. It’s my ongoing PD manual.

As a 2nd-grade teacher, my biblical worldview influences my role by reminding me to create a loving and nurturing classroom environment that reflects God’s love and care for each student. Intentionally, I submerge biblical values and principles into my lessons, using interesting stories and examples that illustrate God’s character and teachings. This way, I hope to help my students develop a strong foundation of faith, as well as essential skills and knowledge, that will be transferred from one generation to the other.

My worldview is integral to my teaching philosophy, style, instructional delivery, and goals.
- Because God values excellence and calls us to His standard of holiness, I also value excellence and seek to instill this value within my students.
- Because God’s work is good, beautiful, and true, I also motivate my students to seek after what is good, beautiful, and true.
- Because God’s Word continually acknowledges the reality of struggle–and presents ways to persevere and overcome it through Him, I teach my students to anticipate, accept, and persevere through struggle (understanding that they can’t do it by themselves… but that if God has called them to a task, He will be faithful to lead them through it).
- Because Jesus’ example is one of careful scholarship, scriptural knowledge, and right interpretation, these are also the goals we pursue in my classroom.
