  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?

  The Bible is the foundation of truth. Therefore, the rest of what we teach stems from biblical integrated teaching.

  I felt like Dr. Black’s visual demonstrated that all of life needs to be built up the foundation of God’s word.

  I think of the Lord’s teaching in Matthew 7: 24-27 about the two houses, one built upon the sand and one upon a rock. Just like a house needs a solid rock foundation to weather the storms, our curriculum and materials need the solid foundation on the Holy Bible to weather the storms in our world. A house also needs a good roof to protect it from storms. Our curriculum and materials must be surrounded by God’s Word to protect it from the worldly philosophies of our day.

  When we approach our curriculum and content, we need to be pursuing the question, “How can I speak about the Bible as I teach today?” What sets Christian educators apart is the goal to infuse our teaching with the Bible.

  That means that whatever I do as in preparing for my lessons, God’s word should be the foundation and the finishing.

  One of the ways I encourage myself to have a growth mindset is to make a priority out of continued learning. I teach Bible, so much of my personal devotion time falls into that category, but I think it is important to learn in a variety of ways. I read history, I listen to podcasts, watch documentaries, or talk with other educators and leaders just to encourage continued growth and my own personal education. Hearing someone else’s story can be not only inspiring, but encouraging to grow in an area of deficiency. Making sure I have some sort of learning opportunity in front of me all the time has been a really effective way of having a growth mindset.

  I don’t expect to know it all. I will always be learning. If I expect my students to learn, I have to be humble enough to learn myself. I believe that even “small steps” are big, when it comes to learning. Reading a book, having a notebook for notes, hearing a podcast, are some of the things that I am implementing for my personal growth as an educator.

  I often get on Youtube or Google and search all kinds of new ways to teach vocabulary, make this or that more exciting. I want my kids to have fun, but also I want what they learn to stick in their brains. I love researching ways to do that, and then add my own twist.

  Reading and reflecting have played a big role in encouraging a growth mindset within myself. Surrounding myself with people who are also seeking growth has been very beneficial as well.

  I already incorporate many passages of the scriptures and gospel into my art lesson plan.
  With this course I hope to learn more ideas and suggestions that will enrich my curriculum and my students knowledge.

  I hope to gain a succinct view of Biblical Integration and how it impacts the classroom and how I can be aware of my own biases as I seek to develop Biblical Integration.
