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?
-
Dr. Black suggests way we can incorporate biblical mindsets into the curriculum of Christian education. Dr. Black reminds us that we need/should be thinking of ways to have God throughout our life.
-
Dr. Black’s visual was set to remind us that everything we teach from our curriculum should begin and end with God’s Word. We need to be sure that we are integrating Scripture and Biblical principles into any curriculum we teach.
-
Dr. Black used an illustration to communicate the vital importance of God’s Word. She had curriculum materials in the middle with Bibles on either side. Her overall point was that everything must be filtered through the lens of God’s Word. God’s Word is most important and every subject we teach should strive for Biblical integration.
-
She is illustrating the importance of approaching Christian education through a Biblical lens. Everything thing we do in the classroom should be a reflection and an outgrowth of that lens.
-
Dr. Black starts and finishes with Gods word. The integration of the curriculum use in our schools is based in Biblical integration.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I encourage myself and my students to have a growth mindset by knowing that making mistakes are ok. That is how we learn. If we were correct all of the time, there would be nothing to strive for and we wouldn’t continue to improve on what we already know. I also remind myself that having a fixed mindset with not get me anywhere but miserable.
-
I agree that “We can’t have the mind of Christ without really studying Scripture, without being reflective.” Also, studying new concepts in science and educating middle-schooler is vital to becoming a better teacher. I must stay humble and receive advice from others on how to improve myself.
-
To encourage a growth mindset, first, everything must be evaluated. Sometimes a neutral party can help to evaluate in order to identify if anything has become mundane. Also, one should seek out innovators in their fields to help them continue to think forward. Finally, one has to be willing to let go of practices that no longer serve the best interests of all involved.
-
Some techiniques I have used to encourage a growith mindset is to take notes and then review them. For example, I take notes durign a sermon at church and then go back to that passage later in the week to re-process what I have learned from that passage of scripture and application that was mentioned in the sermon. I enjoy professional development courses and do the same when I take a course. I allow the information I recieve to change my thinking, process and goals.

I love to be able to learn new things and take them into my classroom
