Share one or two things you learned in this course that will change your approach in the classroom.

My goal for this next school year is to help model how to appropriately write a scope and sequence and/or lesson plan that biblically integrates correctly. The idea of lesson planning and taking the steps to do this effectively is important and much needed.

I will be even more intentional about student nurturing and processing activities

I appreciated the portion of the course that emphasized that we should ensure that we are focusing on all of the bible – not just the portions that are easily recognizable. I think that is something that I should put energy towards. I also have a renewed spark to make a concerted effort to seek closer relationships with my students.

I have learned I should feel free to share my story. I often hold back. We’re a small school and most of us attend church together as well. I think it is assumed most of our families know. I will work on making sure I’m more upfront about my story. I will also be more conscientious of my biblical integration. It is always an area we’re told we need to work on. I think in some subjects its harder to wrap our minds around. I will start my planning period by intentionally understanding how the subject matter applies biblically.

1, I will spend more time helping my students think through the “big questions” of life (who they are, where they come from, why they are alive, etc) and discuss these questions as a course in an age-appropriate level through the lens of God’s Word. I have done that some in the past, especially during Bible course, but not with as purposeful and focused an effort as I should have been doing this.
2. I want to include more parents on a regular basis in the classroom if possible as they are the ones held responsible by God for their children. I want to make sure parents know they are welcome and valued by me and the school to be involved in their children’s education.
