What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
I hope to be able to better integrate biblical principles into my teaching. It struck me when Dr. Black said about not remembering a math lesson…since I am a math teacher. She mentioned that the environment is what she remembers, a story, the care and kindness shown by her teacher. Since it is not easy to specifically integrate the Bible into math lessons, I want to focus on the learning environment I provide to my students as a testimony of my Christian belief and philosophy.

I need to gain my ACSI certification, but I would also like to learn more about being a Christian educator since I was went to public school as a student and have previously taught in public schools.
-
I hope to refine my philosophy of education from a Christian perspective by hearing and sharing with other Christians. At this point, my education experience has largely been in the secular arena, which brings much that should be sifted and thought through from my own Christian perspective based on the Bible. However, to be able to openly share with Christian educators about a Christian philosophy of education has me very excited.
-
I hope to gain not only a greater understanding of the Christian perspective, but be able to develop my own. In turn, obviously, I’d like to have it impact the classroom. Even more, to be able to teach and nurture other faculty and staff of the primacy of this area of Christian education.

As a Christian Educator, I am always open to learning new things. I want all my students to love and know Jesus!
