In what way(s) does your belief in Jesus Christ currently influence your classroom?
-
It influences my actions, interactions with students and colleagues, how I teach, what I teach, etc. Believing that Jesus is our one and only Savior, Son of God, and much, much more, I ask Him to guide me and be with me throughout everything I do. I want to be a light for my students and for them to see Christ through me, so that ultimately they become/continue to be lights for others.
-
My Christology influences my classroom and one example is that because I see Jesus as a facilitator and someone who initiates reflection, like when he sent out the seventy-two or when he prompted a discussion about the fig tree, I try to imitate that in my classroom.
-
My belief guides my decisions, responses, planning, view of each student, and overall role as an educator and channel of God’s Word.
-
Believing that Jesus is Lord leads me to pray every day for His eyes when I see my students. I pray for His words to flow from me rather than my own. I pray that my heart breaks for what breaks His. I do not know of any way to allow Him power and authority over my instructional practices and influence in my students’ lives.
-
Due to my belief in Jesus Christ, I am able to share Christ with my students on a daily basis in my classroom. This has helped my students to walk with the Lord each day purposefully.
