Share one or two things you learned in this course that will change your approach in the classroom.
-
One thing that I was encouraged and reminded to do throughout this course is to better involved the parents of my students in the classroom.
Another thing I was encouraged to do through this past lesson is to share my story (testimony) and how I came to be their teacher at their school.
-
This course cut through the feeling of isolation I had as a Christian educator in the public school system and then in the secular higher education space. This is a major gift because I am now aware of the experiences of others seeking to serve the Lord faithfully as His educators in the world and am a part of a community where I can learn, share, and grow.
-
I am encouraged in knowing that most Christian school teahers have taken this course. It is wonderful because now I know that most of us will have the same Biblical foundation. I was concerned before about the various doctrinal issues or personal beliefs that teachers must have and wondered how this would impact the students at Christian schools. Now that I see that we are all basically on the same page it gives me comfort and I also feel a fellowship now with othe teachers that I didn’t have before.
-
I need to be proactive in inserting Biblical throughlines in my daily lessons. Praying at the beginning of class is not enough.
-
I’m going to be discussing with them the importance of knowing God’s word and how we can apply principles from it in order to function and be aware in the world.
