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

[Austin]

We are constantly doing, saying. thinking from that fallen nature; that is why Jesus has to be center of our life and classroom and help students understand that.

[Austin]

Mankind’s fallen nature reminds me that all my students deserve love and grace. Any opportunity to demonstrate love and grace along with life lessons, is a win.

[Austin]

We should expect that students will have a fallen nature in the classroom and therefore not be shocked or harsh. We should have plans in place for how to correct the fallen nature

[Austin]

I am not surprised when students don’t measure up to the standard. There are still rules, but there is a time for grace as well. I’m not shocked and gravely disappointed in a student if they try to lie to me. There are still repercussions, but it’s not a fall from favor.

[Austin]

I have to remind myself that all of my children are in need of salvation.
