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 we teach should be influenced by God’s word. Is what we are teaching fitting into the principles of the Bible?
-
God is the beginning and the end.
-
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.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
To encourage growth mindset in myself I always remember that I am God’s child and I may not have the answer/skill yet, but I can grow. God is continually shaping me in to what He wants me to be.
-
As a mathematics teacher, I show students how to use skills learned earlier to learn more complex concepts. For myself as a Christian, I enjoy learning new things. Today we have many resources for learning. I am thankful for online resources, teachers, pastors, and books. But the Bible is the sure foundation for all learning.
-
In mathematics, one of the things I try to encourage students to do is remember that when solving problems you are not entirely starting from scratch but using skills they have already seen in easier problems to solve more difficult ones.
-
Whenever I think of the bible passage that says, ”Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:26-27. That makes me to want to study more about what I am learning, for if day by day there are new inventions, and yet man have not yet scratch what God has in store for him. That makes want to learn every day.
-
I love to learn, even if I don’t agree with or enjoy the topic, I believe we can still learn and grow from it. Topics that challenge us help us to grow and to see where others are coming from. I try to always be learning and I try to pass that onto my students.
