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.

As a public school teacher this is something that I have not really found a way to do.

When learning about DNA, I emphasize how meticulous and smart God is. His creation has order.

Anything we teach can be related to a Biblical principal. When I teach math, for example perimeter an area, I love to talk about the size of the ark and go over measurements used. I try to relate all material back to a Biblical principal. For example, right I’m teaching about bones and fractures and how God designed our bodies to be able to mend and heal. Just like our hearts. When we feel broken and crushed, that is the best time to surrender. Be still and allow God to fix what is broken.

We consider the principle of providing for others in simple grocery shopping math.
When in public school, though not formal in lessons, but pertaining to social skills, and playground “incidents” I have stressed the giant concept of FORGIVENESS. This was a novel concept to the kids, actually. We referred often to giant letters attached above the board and talked about how forgiveness fixes things between friends.

I often embed the fruits of the spirit into lessons about historical leaders within our country during our history lessons. We often discuss what God’s word says a godly leader looks like and compare that to what we see in the leaders we are studying about. I also like to post scripture within my power points or have students find specific verses in the Bible to read out loud to the course after we have discussed a topic, tying it together with Biblical truths.
