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?
-
We are all Bible teachers…that teach English or science or….
-
Biblical truth should be weaved into our lessons, from start to finish.
-
Everything that we do as Christian school educators should always begin, end, and include the Word of God.
-
The visual of the book in the middle of two Bibles is illustrating how we as Christian teachers should make sure that our lessons begin and end with the WORD of God. It shows how important it is to keep God in the midst of it all.
-
The Word is our foundation, the beginning of all lessons and the end of all lessons. The curriculum is the middle of the “book”
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
Encourage students to remember Dweck’s saying of “not yet”. Instead of a fixed mindset where they don’t see the possibilities, lead them to see that one day they can accomplish many things.
-
I currently monitor my thoughts, words, and actions to make sure that they align with the word of God. I don’t always get it right but developing a growth mind set is important.
-
I like to collaborate with colleagues and share techniques and activities as well as join online communities where ideas are shared. I keep myself open to change and trying new things in the classroom instead of doing the same things year after year.
-
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.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
Sometimes I struggle without to integrate the word in to my lessons…such as math, so I hope to get some ideas on how to make that easier.
-
I hope to gain the knowledge of how to integrate scriptures in every subject in my classroom.
-
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.
-
How to effectively integrate God’s Word in the classroom and how to be confident as an educator in general as I discipline the hearts & minds of children.
