Share one or two ways you embed biblical principles in your lessons. If you don’t already do so, describe how a teacher you know does it.

I like to use natural God moments when the conversation turns that way. For example, today we were reading a story where the characters were bragging which led to a discussion of what God teaches about this concept.

In literature lessons I have compared characters responses to crisis situations with Biblical characters responses in similar circumstances- i.e., grief, fear, loneliness, etc.

In a world history lesson, I showed how a particular denomination had strayed from the teachings and expectations of Jesus, and showed how Jesus experienced a similar situation while he was here on earth during his ministry.

Based on the materials being presented, I put a “Scripture for the Week” on the Board, and each day we revisit it. Often it has to do with character development more than a specific application to what I am teaching. One of my greatest concerns for my students is “integrity.” Not cheating, doing their own work, taking responsibility for their actions, and understanding the consequences.

When we are reading in our reading curriculum, I like to look at the characters and see how they might solve the conflict using biblical principles. The kids love it.
