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?
-
This illustration shows the importance of God’s word in order for any teacher to be successful. We must incorporate His word.
-
She is illustrating the importance of using the Bible as the main book we should be using, as well as the importance of the textbook and notebooks while preparing our lessons with Biblical Integration in mind.
-
God in everything and Everything in God, we being the vessels to point His people back to Him through preparation as instructors.
-
As educators, we need to be surrounded by the Scripture. By doing so, we better integrate a biblical worldview.
-
I believe she illustrates how everything we do and know as educators need to be surrounded by the scripture.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
Throughout the year I always make sure my attitude stays in a place where I can learn from others and experiences. You never get to a place where you know everything. I look for new strategies, read, take notes in church, and remember why I teach.
-
One of the best ways to encourage our students to be life-long learners is to make sure that we are also always willing to learn and grow. One of the ways I keep a mindset of growth is reading current articles and books about different types of topics, whether they are for spiritual growth, educational practices, or issues that we are currently dealing with in culture.
-
Research. I think that one of the best ways to keep growing is to keep learning, and doing research is a very important part of that. But i believe that the best research we can do is in God’s Word and to learn what his purpose for our lives is. And it’s a purpose that keeps changing as we walk though life. But even if it changes, the ultimate goal is to grow in His likeness to be a testimony for others
-
One technique I use to encourage a growth mindset in myself is taking notes as needed. Another technique or method is by reading books and subscribing to periodicals that focus on the various areas of education.
-
I am always trying to grow spiritually because I want to know God better. I know that if I grow spiritually in Christ I will be ultimately more effective in everything I do and that includes teaching in the classroom. I have never felt satisfied where I’m at I always want to grow. I spend time daily in the Scripture and listen to podcasts and audio books on the way to work that deal with many of the Biblical topics that we discuss in course. I keep up with the current news and trends withing Christianity as well as the secular world so I can be knowledgeable about what is going on and be able to address these things with my students.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I would like to take the previous metaphor from theory to reality in my courses.
-
A more thorough understanding of how to consistently and effectively teach all topics from a biblical worldview.
-
Learning how to be able to integrate Biblical principals into my teachings.
-
Practical ideas of how to better my teaching in the classroom and my relationship with others.
-
A growth mindset vs a fixed mindset.
