That’s it! You can begin taking the two courses that make up the Christian Philosophy of Education Requirement: *Christian Philosophy of Education and Biblical Integration.
One core value of ACSI is to have teachers who are equipped to integrate Scripture, model Christlike values, and be prepared to answer students’ questions from a solid foundation of scriptural principles. Teachers bring the truth of God’s Word into the study of all subject areas and help students find their way in a world that seems confusing or even conflicting at times. Some teachers have the added responsibility of helping to shape curriculum, guide students with loving discipline, and lead them to a saving knowledge of Jesus.
For all these reasons, teachers need to understand students and the place of faith in Christian education as well as how to integrate biblical truth into the overall curriculum planning and daily instruction. One way to accomplish that is to read, study, and develop a Christian Philosophy of Education (CPoE).
Excellent course for beginning and returning Christian School educators. Thanks for the succinct and timely information shared in this course. Dr. Black, you are a wonderful instructor! — Robert
I found the course to be excellent. Dr. Black’s lectures were so helpful and practical. I looked forward to watching them. The book I chose to read in conjunction with the course was By Design. I made a point of doing all the activities in Dr. MacCullough’s book, and it was quite rigorous. This course caused me to do some deep thinking about my philosophy of education, and I really appreciate that. Thank You! — Debra

Written assignments completed in the CPoE Requirement will need to be reviewed and signed off on by your school administrator (administrators should submit their materials to the school board chairman or the pastor of their church or school). If you are not currently employed in a Christian school, ACSI has made provisions for you to have a pastor (or a Christian school administrator that you know) sign off on your work.
*Please note that you cannot find these two courses in the “All course” list, as they are exclusively for you.
