Yes. I believe that as believers when we grow in Christ, we long for more of Him and his knowledge of His word.
-
I agree. To truly love wisdom as God created us to love would only be capable by the Holy Spirit.
-
Yes, I agree because you can only love God if you believe in him.
-
I would agree because God is love and by His Spirit we come to love knowledge.
-
I agree because true wisdom and love of wisdom come from a deeper connection with the divine Creator

I would like to become more confident in knowing how to apply a Christian philosophy within the classroom.
-
I hope that students may see Christ in me, that my learning environment may be an uplifting, safe faith based environment and that students don’t have to separate their faith with science.
-
I hope to gain a better understanding on how to deliver the word of God to my students and the ones around me.
-
I am looking to enhance my instruction as an educator through a deeper understanding of the Bible and how to help younger students delve into the true meaning behind common Biblical stories.
-
I hope to gain knowledge to help me integrate Christian Philosophy every day with my students and in my personal walk, that it will be very much a normal.

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.
-
A Christian philosophy transcends a Bible class and can show up in social emotional lessons, playground disputes and daily routines. Having a Christian philosophy of education can and should change how you approach each and every subject and the way you teach your students.
-
Because it is our job to pass God’s truths to new generations, therefore we must have some plan to follow and share.
