What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
As a student in this course I not only hope to successfully complete the course and earn the credit to fulfill the ACSI requirement for my continued employment, but I also know that any pursuit of knowledge, reflection, and application to my personal life that involves seeking truth, guidance and wisdom from the One True God, will undoubtedly cause me to grow to become a better educator for the next generation of children that He entrusts into my care. As I continue to expand my head knowledge with best teaching practices, curriculum advancements, and classroom management skills, I hope that this course will help me put in writing the heart of why I said yes when God called me to the teaching field. I believe the most valuable part of education is the heart of the Christian Education Classroom and this course will help me to define the foundation for the educational experience for each of my students.
With the world around us becoming increasingly tolerant and even celebratory of diversity beyond the beauty that God intended when He created each man and woman unique for His glory, I hope to grow in my understanding of philosophical views outside of my God Honoring vantage. As a born again believer, I have invested time and effort in learning about Christian philosophy and God centered mindfulness. I am passionate about how and what I teach, but want to expand my mind to include head knowledge about the other schools of thought outside of my wheelhouse so that my heart knowledge of what I know to be true can be strengthened. I believe the role of a teacher is a high calling and I want to be used by God to impact future generations with a solid Biblical World View.

I want to gain some real truths in myself, not just a head knowledge but a heart knowledge. I want to grow as a Christian educator and communicate well with my art students. I want to teach art in a way that reflects Christ and not just art concepts.

I hope to gain a greater understanding to the importance of having my own personal Christian philosophy. I would like for it to come natural when I interact with my students in the classroom.

I want to gain my standard ACSI certification, but along the way I want to discover where I need improvement.
