Christian Philosophy of Education

Corso molto didattico, teologico e necessario in questi tempi di decadimento.

This course captures twelve lessons and each lesson on average 14 minutes of video clips which are of utmost importance for learners to understand fully about the requirement of their calling. This course reveals the role of teachers as multifaceted. Teachers are mentors, facilitators, and co-learners. Their authority in the classroom stems from their alignment with God's Word which serves as the ultimate standard for instruction and behavior.

This was a great course to take. I felt it was easy to understand, and I received a lot of great information I can take back to my classroom. The course is divided into 12 different lectures that are about 15 minutes each, so you do not feel overloaded all at once. I would definitely recommend this course.

Loved how accessible it was

I recommend everyone take the course available here because it helps in our daily life or workspace in integrating biblical values.

The course was very useful and I appreciated the videos, transcripts, and discussion questions.

OUTSTANDING!!! Well organized and the lectures were excellent and engaging.

I really enjoyed the lectures and was given an insight into how I want my Christian teaching career to be and the goals I want to set and reach.

This course was easy to navigate, had valuable information, and Dr. Black is not only credentialed to teach this information, but has a clear love for Christian education and the success of both teachers and students.

I appreciated the formula of this course in that there was also an overview, followed by lecture, followed by short answer and finally a quiz. The lessons were engaging and helpful for me to understand more about Christian Philosopy of Education.

This course will give you a great introduction into what a Christian Philosophy is. You won't regret it!

I will be able to work on my Bible CEU's with this coursework.

I got a lot out of this course.

I appreciate this video series as a way to review and understand the content needed to develop and articulate my Christian Philosophy of Education.

Great course. It is full of great information about Christian Philosophy. Thank you!

Wasn't sure what to expect - but thoroughly enjoyed the content, the delivery of the content and the practical application in my classroom. This is a course that I feel I can actually benefit from, in my everyday task of teaching in a Christian school.

Thank you for this course. It has helped to give me tools and backing for my biblical world view in education.

I truly enjoyed this course with Dr. Black. The course helped me understand my role as a Christian educator and challenged me with reflection questions that I had never thought about before. Thank you for this learning opportunity. It has helped me realize how to continue fulfilling the mission that God provides.

I appreciated that this course allowed flexibility in completing the tasks. I was concerned that I would not be able to complete the course and its objectives with my schedule but was surprised that it was broken down into modules that allowed me to work at my own pace.

This has been helpful to get me to really think through what a Christian Philosophy of Education is and what my specific philosophies of life and education have been in the past and are at present. It is valuable for an individual teacher to consider these things, but I think it would be even more helpful to do this course as a staff and talk about each topic. I will try to recommend that to our principal. Though I have a degree from a Christian university, including a Bible minor, and a teaching credential from a state university, I have never been forced to clearly articulate a Christian philos0phy of education. This is a thought-provoking exercise in this world of ever-changing philosophies and education systems. I appreciated the various examples of schools, teachers and students from around the world that Dr. Black incorporated into her lectures as I have taught in several different schools around the world.

I liked the added in personal and real stories. It made the content come to life.

The course was very informative about Christian education today. I learned a lot about myself and how I should be prepared when teaching students the way of God. I truly appreciate all that was taught through this lesson.

Often times some of the questions on the quizzes did not relate to her lecture or the reading (depending on what book you picked). The book I chose was informational, but it went into a lot of details regarding the theories of education and she did not touch on any of that. Not sure if one of the recommended books was more suited to her lectures. I did really benefit from this course and it challenged my thinking/perspective as a Christian educator.  

I really enjoyed this course and appreciated how it got me thinking about the Philosophy I want for my classroom.  

This course was great for Christian education. I hope all of my teachers are able to take this course and truly engage in it.

I found the information to be interesting and helpful. The length was just right for me. Thank you!

This was an excellent and valuable course! I would consider this a proper Christian Education College course (something I wish I would have gotten during my time at college).

Thank you. The course was thoughtful and challenging. I have identified several areas where I want to hone my understanding of my Chrisitan philosophy of education.

It has been a very edifying course. In many aspects it has emphasized things I already knew. I was also able to learn new information and be encouraged to apply it to my everyday teaching experience. The book I read was an amazing bundle of helpful information that has given me a new perspective on how to approach teaching from a Biblical worldview.

Such a great way to complete the ASCI requirements.

I truly enjoyed this course. I look forward to more lectures from this instructor.

I feel like this course was informative and straight forward. I would definitely suggest this course to others looking into Christian Education.

This course made me think about how to improve the ways I teach as a Christian teacher and gain many great ideas about things I could do in the classroom.

This course is highly effective in providing a comprehensive understanding of the principles and values that underpin Christian education. The lecture addressed the philosophical aspects of Christian education and a biblical Christian worldview. It offered practical and real-life examples that helped me relate what I learned to my school context. Overall, I feel that this course has helped me to deepen my understanding of Christian education and has equipped me with the knowledge and skills I need to be an effective Christian educator who is well-versed in the principles of Christian Philosophy.

I love the accessibility of this course. The way the lectures and assessments were broken up into clear divisions for clarity was very helpful. I like that it can be accessed from anywhere you have Wifi! Great opportunity for growth.

I don't have a degree in Christian Education so the topics were helpful to add to my knowledge of secular teaching.  

This is a great course and easily accessible! It was great that the lectures were included in the course, and it was very easy to follow. It is an encouraging course for educators.  

A great overview of the need to embrace and intentionally practice a personal Christian philosophy of instruction.

Well conceived and thoughtfully presented key concepts. I felt I was okay with where I'm at as a Christian educator, but was also challenged to take it a step or two further

Dr. Black did an excellent job teaching this course. I was encouraged by her personal accounts as a teacher as well as an educator. She inspired me to change my approach as a teacher to get the students more involved in knowing and understanding the Word of God. I have accepted the challenge to fulfill the call to do all that's possible by the grace of God to apply what I have learnt here to all my lessons. Thank you Dr. Black!

When I was told to complete this course, I did not know what to expect. I have now come to greatly appreciate what I have learned. I found myself checking to see where I need to improve and truly give God thanks for this opportunity to fulfill His plan for my life. This course was well structured and the lecturer was excellent.

Great Session!!!

This course has empowered me with an awareness and knowledge which I look forward to applying in my lessons.

I am really blessed to have taken part in this course as it has realigned me with the expected practices as a Christian educator. Thank you so much, Dr. Ellen Lowrie Black.

I found Ellen very enjoyable to listen to, relate to, and found her to give a good balance between Scriptural information, educational philosophy, and personal experience/anecdotal examples.

I have learned a lot and this course will be an asset to my career.

This was a very helpful course and I have certainly grown in the past month that I've been taking it.

Great course!

I am so glad that I took this course! The course allowed me to grow in many areas as a Christian teacher. It also reminded me of things that I know, but a great refresher as I am entering a new school year. I will definitely continue to pass down the knowledge, values, and truth to the next generation.

This course provided a great opportunity to pause and think deeply about what, why and how I do what I do as a Christian educator. I am encouraged to keep teaching and to do it with greater purpose and resiliency.
