How will the concepts discussed in this lesson impact your teaching?

I teach English and love reading. I think we can look through a spiritual lense in most hongs we read, what is God trying to tell us, how does the story and its message prepare us to be a part of God’s world? Asking these questions can help teach about forgiveness, redemption, sacrifice, love, kindness, etc.
Also, I really love the idea of resetting when something isn’t working. I have done this in a lesson, but really connect to the idea of using this as an example of salvation and redemption

God wants us to fulfill His calling in this short life by preparing ourselves to bring His love to other people in whichever vocation we choose. He also made provisions for us to know the fulfillment of our eternal destination with Him. I want to look for opportunities to explain the gift of salvation, a restored relationship with our Creator through Christ, in my lessons. Not in a way that is awkward and unnatural, but as a logical presentation and application of the scientific topic at the time.

The conversation Dr. Black had about how to handle a lesson that didnt go well or behavior that is out of control was extremely helpful for me. She said, “Redeem the Day!” Even in a non-Christian school, I can teach the concept of redemption by giving a fresh start to the children and make the best of time we have together even if some of the day did not start off well.

I am constantly desiring to help my students understand they are specifically made for certain things in life with the gifts and talents God has given them. The Lord will guide and direct them as they use their talents to glorify Him.

I really liked the reset for the day. I think it is a good illustration for salvation and a do over there as well.
