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.
-
One of the goals I wrote down is to have a grade level meeting with my fellow colleagues to discuss how we can incorporate a biblical integrated model that will connect with the next grade level. Two of the specific strategies I will uses to meet this goal are: developing an outline from the unit development stage that I can share with my fellow 3rd grade teachers in how I plan on intentionally integrating the Bible. And secondly, meeting with the 4th grade teachers to see what their foundational expectations are from their incoming students for biblical integration is.
-
One goal I have is to begin with the suggested idea of developing unit plans, working to see the bigger picture, how truth is present specifically and how it is implied in those units. This seems like a less overwhelming task to approach it this way. I need the practice and discipline over time to get better and biblical integration. I will ask the other 5th grade teacher to join me in doing this so we can help each other. I think using the guided questions given by Martha MacCullough will be a helpful place to begin this practice.
-
One of my goals is to have more indirect biblical integration. I sometimes cut that aspect too short. I focus on the lesson and the direct integration more; however, I think the indirect is just as important.
-
I am going to do research into the Bible to find some lessons to incorporate into my math courses. I am going to look into the statistics that are collected in the Bible and I am going to look at plans for building things so we can calculate building materials required. I want to have 2 lessons for Algebra 2 and 2 for Statistics before school starts.
-
My goal is to Incorporate biblical lessons into my ESL course. Although I am not required to do so in my school as the ESL teacher, I want to try to do 1 lesson every quarter with grade 4-8. To meet this goal I am going to revise a unit plan to incorporate biblical integration by using the questions posed in the last lesson.
