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?
-
Everything that is taught should be surrounded by the truth of the Bible and what we teach should be grounded in Scripture and not step outside of it.
-
She is teaching us that everything we do and teach should be grounded in and surrounded by His word.
-
Everything taught (materials and curriculum) begins, in accordance with, and ends with God Word.
-
God is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end so everything we do needs to start and end with Him. We need to make sure we ourselves and our students are always fact checking using the Bible as our guide.
-
God’s word needs to surround everything we do as educators. We include other resources/materials, but God’s Word encompasses it all.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I always take notes and highlight anything that really stands out to me. I try to be very detail- oriented so I can go back later if necessary and feel that I grasp the concept.
-
I take notes and work at a steady pace. I use the lesson objectives to simulate questions that I should answer before the end of the lesson. I research or look for supporting answers from the Bible too. I reflect to see where I am and what I can do to improve.
-
Note-taking, checklists, and reviewing recorded information have helped me reflect on important information that encourages a growth mindset.
-
One thing that has been very helpful is marking the book and taking notes as I’m reading. I won’t remember all the ideas I’d like to but writing them down helps and gives me visual markers to go back and find them later.
-
When times are difficult, I remember opportunity versus obstacle. Each tough situation, there is something to learn and grow.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I hope to gain a better understanding of integrating Biblical principals into every aspect of the lesson. How to formulate units that may not have a Biblical emphasis into ones that have biblical truths woven throughout the content in a meaningful way. I hope to gain the credits needed to continue my employment in the Christian School where I have been employed. I hope to grow closer to God and further refine the skills that He has given me to teach well for His Glory.
