  Explain, in your own words, Dr. Black’s visual of a book in the middle of two Bibles. What is she illustrating with this visual?

  Our approach to curriculum and learning should begin and end with God’s Word.

  She is basically saying that the foundation is the Bible. No matter what we are teaching we need to relate it back to the Bible.

  Dr. Black is illustrating that the Bible should be our foundation in all that we are teaching. We should be reading God’s word and incorporating it into our daily lessons as teachers.

  Dr. Blacks visual illustration means that the Bible should always be the priority in our lessons. I believe that if we start course with the word of God, then we are doing what the Lord called us to do.

  I love this analogy. A hamburger isn’t complete without the top bun, ingredients in the middle, and the the bottom bun. If you remove either bun, you now have an “open face” sandwich. With an “open face” sandwich, your ingredients can slip off the bun and therefore, not give you the ultimate flavor that is desired when both buns and ingredients remain intact.

  The Bible helps to hold together our curriculum, and materials. It helps to complete the overall process of educating our students, Biblically. The Bible should be our first and last resource in education.

  I think about back when I struggled at school, especially English. And now when I look back, my English skills have vastly improved and I am certain now if I took my English courses again I would get better grades. Another technique I use is when I go into something to have an open mind that I can learn something new. This is especially true of the Bible. Many of us have probably heard or read a passage in the Bible many times and so we think we know it very well. However, it has happened very often that I learn something new from the same passage I thought I knew everything about. God continues to reveal new insights as life changes.

  I think having a growth mindset is crucial for educators. We are constantly needing to learn and grow and better ourselves for our students. I am constantly engaging in personal and professional development as well as diving deeper into God’s word.

  To be honest, I feel like I didn’t start developing the idea of a growth mindset until I had my own kids. Becoming a mother instantly provided me with an anxiety of wanting to know and learn more. I quickly realized how important it was to have a growth mindset so that I could help guide my own kids. As a teacher, I feel like the same is true. It’s important for me to take the time to be in God’s word and also find ways to enhance my knowledge in content areas so that I can live it out and help mentor students through their education and through life.

  Growth mindset is very important to me. Some of the techniques I have and will continue to use is writing down revelations I receive when studying God’s word. Everyday when I read scripture, I get a new revelation on how to use God’s word for my benefit each and every day. Growing in God’s word is the best opportunity I have to live a successful life.

  I have always taken it upon myself to advance myself in finding on my own professional trainings throughout my career. I am always looking for new and creative ways to advance my thinking and become more creative and open to the new thing that is upcoming. I am always leaving room for new growth and ideas.

  I hope to gain tools for a more natural biblical integration that goes beyond merely checking a box that says I have completed it in a lesson plan.
