Share one of the goals you wrote down at the end of this lesson, as well as the two or three specific strategies you will use to meet that goal.
-
I’d like to expand the degree to which I discuss worldview and philosophy in connection with literature. First steps to that end are reviewing the relevant sections in MacCullough, Knight, and Sires; and taking time to think through my current units to consider where I might integrate the content; and starting to collect scripture references that would fit well with the added content.
-
I want to discover what other attributes of God we can see in math (other than order). I believe that read his word looking for these characteristics and having concrete examples that can be used in math lessons are two good steps I can take to have a more biblically integrated math course.
-
One goal that I have is to spend more time studying Scripture so that I am growing in my walk with the Lord. As I study God’s Word, I need to ask the Holy Spirit to give me opportunities and wisdom to integrate these truths into the lessons that I am teaching. One specific strategy is to put my Quiet Time on my calendar, just like I put my courses and tutoring sessions on my calendar.
-
I would like to teach my students how to discern what is God’s will and what is the way of the world. Things I need to do to make this happen are I too need to be in the word of God more. I need to be listening for areas my students are struggling and find verses that can help them. I also want to get a group of teacher friends that I meet with once or twice a month to hold me accountable, and make sure I am making biblically integrated lessons. We can even share with each other ideas we have been using so we can help each other grow.
-
I’d like to be more aware of the underlying message of the lessons that we do in course. This means that I will have to pay more attention to the deeper worldview, and then make the ties to Biblical values, and then help the students to make those ties on their own.
