What are some ways you can apply the concepts learned in this lesson in your classroom?
-
Because I am a Bible teacher, applying these concepts is much easier! One statement stood out, however: that we need to teach all 66 books of the Bible, learning from the whole counsel of God. This actually requires more effort on the part of educators to be biblically literate on the whole Bible, not just on our favorite verses and books.
-
I do not teach a Bible class, but I can be more intentional about incorporating Scripture into the lessons. I also can make sure that my correction or reproof is meted out in a firm but loving way. Students need to know and even crave the boundaries.
-
When tough questions come up in my classroom, I can point my students back to scripture. I have my students memorize scripture weekly, but it is also important to dive into the meaning of the scripture that they read and memorize. Through each history and science lesson, I can use scripture to show how God has worked in the past and how he continues to work today. I can help my students use God’s word to help work through interpersonal conflict and tough situations.
-
I look forward to my students many questions. It is a great opportunity to direct them to the truth in the Holy Scriptures. I have posters around my room where I have written key, important scripture. It’s nice to be able to point to a verse when needed. I also love that those sacred words are there for my students to see when they are in my classroom.
-
We can continually look for ways to incorporate scripture into our lessons and daily routines in the classroom. We need to make sure that students are always led to scripture.
