Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
Instructors in Christian schools should all have an understanding of the purpose of this particular learning environment, an agreement with its goals and objectives, to be able to translate that clearly.
-
In order for our students to truly understand the benefits of being a Christian Leader the education must believe with all his/her heart, soul, and mind in our Father in heaven – God

As a teacher it is not only my job to teach my subject matter, but to teach according to our school’s overall teaching philosophy of fostering relationships and seeing every moment as an opportunity to preach God to my students. My faith and my teaching should align.

Yes! I truly believe that, as a Christian educator, I have not only the opportunity , but also the responsibility to faithfully transmit knowledge and values to the next generation. I pray that I am a good stewart of the time God has given me with my students (His children) to learn about Jesus, and His path to follow. As Rom. 12:2 reminds us to not be conformed to the world, but transformed by the renewing of the minds. My students are exposed to so much worldy bric-a-brac, this is our time to teach them critical thinking, and about Jesus, who said He is the way, the truth, and the life.
Dr. Black’s entire lecture resonnated with me. Her pointing out the Old Testament phrase “and there arose a generation that knew not God” can be seen as a warning to us of the critical role we play. I am truly looking forward to these 12 lessons, not to “check a box” for my professional development, but to benefit from the emphasis on the role of Scripture.

It gives us the ability to tie all subjects to the word of God, which is our way to navigate this world, and not by what the world itself dictates.
