How does your understanding of mankind’s fallen nature impact your work in the classroom?

Because we are all fallen sinners, I know my students need guidance in how to navigate in a fallen world as Christians. I know we will all make mistakes, but what is important is own our mistakes and learn from them. My role as a teacher is to help them be life long learners.

Because we live in a fallen world and we are all sinners, we shouldn’t walk into our classrooms with naivety and expect our students to be angels when they are not. However, as we observe behavior that may be sinful, we can identify the behavior and lovingly correct the students by reminding them of the fruits of the spirit and how we are image bearers of Christ’s love.

The fall is going to be seen in classroom behavior. Students will be imperfect in their behavior and in their work. It helps for the teacher to remind himself or herself that this is to be expected and that no one is beyond redemption.
