Discussion Questions
-
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?
-
I appreciated the visual representation of God’s word on the bottom and the top as a way to bookend whatever it is that we are teaching. The middle part is all about our textbooks, curriculum, teaching resources, and scope and sequence, but it doesn’t have value if it doesn’t start with God’s word and end with God’s word.
-
This visual was an impactful way to show that the Bible should be the center of our work as an educator and it can and should be woven into all areas of curriculum as much as possible from science to phonics.
-
I believe that the visual is reminding teachers to start and end with the word of God when creating lessons for your classes. No matter what you teach or educational goals that you have the word of God surrounds that information and gives it a framework. Basically our lessons in school should be focused on having the scriptures surround our information.
-
The visual was to help illustrate that the Word is the beginning and end of all discernment, even in curriculum and teaching.
-
It reminds us that God’s word is most important in any lesson! We must include it in everything.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I am currently actively seeking God in prayer and His Word to better improve my relationship with Him, in addition I am researching different methods of integrating the Word in my lesson plans.
-
One technique I have used, and continue to use, to encourage a growth mindset is remembering that it’s okay to not have all the answers. There are limits to our knowledge and there is never an issue with having to take the time to do more research and continue learning. I also regularly journal to check in with myself, especially when I find myself engaging in negative self talk. I will take that negative self talk and rephrase it in a more positive way.
-
I’ve taken on the challenge of getting my masters in biblical apologetics.
-
Practical lessons/way to have a life and a classroom where literally everything is filtered through scripture.
-
Devotions and notes in my Bible keep me accountable but also are an amazing reminder of where I have been and what God has done in my life.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I need to gain more insight into how to integrate curriculum with Biblical views.
-
I am in a school setting where teachers are not allowed to integrate the word of God into the teaching and learning environment. So I hope to gain creative ways and new ideas for integrating God’s word into my lessons and the school community at large without breaking the law.
-
I hope like the last course to be exposed to new ideas or be reminded of ways I have lost focus. Sometimes we need to be reminded of what we know as encouragement that it is important.
-
I hope to gain resources and ideas to help my junior high and high school teachers. I would love to know how others integrate Bible.
-
I’d like to gain fresh ideas on how to increase biblical integration into my lessons.
