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?
-
That the Bible is the ultimate for Christian educators come what may. For the other materials are swallowed by the Bible in other to produce intended result as it was the plan from the beginning.
-
She is illustrating the importance of keeping the Bible as a key part of the lessons we teach and classes we prepare for our students. It should be where we start and were we end.
-
Dr. Black’s metaphor of a book placed between two Bibles illustrates that all educational content should be viewed through the lens of Scripture. The Bibles represent God’s Word as the foundation, while the book symbolizes secular materials, which must align with biblical principles. This visual emphasizes that Christian educators should integrate faith into every aspect of teaching, ensuring that a biblical worldview shapes their approach to education.
-
I believe she was seeking to explain that everything we do with with the mind of Christ. We must create lesson plans that based upon the Word of God.
-
Dr. Black’s visual of a book between two Bibles illustrates the relationship between secular and Christian education. The two Bibles represent the foundational truths of Scripture, while the book symbolizes the educational content educators use. This emphasizes that all subjects and methods should be rooted in biblical principles, ensuring education is both academically sound and spiritually enriching. It highlights the integration of faith in education, focusing on not just knowledge, but also nurturing students’ spiritual growth and understanding of their eternal purpose.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I am trying to learn from other colleagues and learn from my students as well. I am continually looking for ways to help students understand the material. I have read books and kept up with relevant content in the field. I try to encourage it with my students as well as myself.
-
To encourage a growth mindset, I set incremental goals and actively seek challenges, viewing them as opportunities for learning. I also practice reflective journaling and positive self-talk to reinforce the belief that effort leads to improvement and that mistakes are valuable learning experiences.
-
I like to take time to go and observe other Band Directors that are role models for myself. When I observe, I tend to increase in understanding on how I can be more effective and godly as a educator.
-
I try new things (like becoming a teacher!), and look back at the things I have accomplished, that I was not sure I would be able to at the time. I also pray for God’s help in the hard things (hello middle schoolers!).
-
To encourage a growth mindset in myself, I draw out ideas and inspiration from my boss and colleagues. I find as aspect of teaching that I have not explored in the past and ask questions so I can understand how to incorporate that new aspect into my classroom practice. I follow the path of my own curiosity.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I hope to understand how to biblically integrate the bible in all of my lesson plans so that students can experience God deeper in each class.
-
I hope to understand how I can integrate Scripture into daily lessons and draw out my students to interact with God’s word. I want to do a new thing, something more than just opening prayer or an occasional Bible verse.
-
I am looking to find strategies that will
allow me to be more effective in communicating the truths of God’s word in a Christian environment (classroom).
-
I expect to learn new strategies to integrate the Bible into each subject. Thinking I do this well already, I look forward to the aha moments to learning more.
-
The ability to better integrate the knowledge of God’s word into my classroom teachings.
