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 is illustrating in her visual the importance of Biblical Integration in your classroom. First, you need to start with a Biblical framework that informs your material and assessments. Once you have finished your assessments you reevaluate your process to make sure that Biblical Integration has happened throughout.
-
We begin with God’s Word, and we end with God’s Word. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. His truth should hold everything else together.
-
The book in the middle of the Bibles is our materials and curriculum. The materials and curriculum are the textbooks, standards, handbooks, scope and sequence, goal and outcomes, and assessments. All of these are important, but they mean nothing if they aren’t surrounded by scripture.
-
The thought is that all why do must be surrounded by God’s word.
-
Dr. Black is illustrating that everything we do and teach should begin and end with God’s Word. What and how we teach should have a foundation in the Bible and also result in our students ultimately being pointed back to God, His Word, and a biblical worldview. If we do not being and end with the Bible, then how are we providing our students with anything different from a secular education?
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I get up in the morning and journal, pray, reading the bible and talk about what I have to do and come up with my schedule and of course it goes God’s way most of the time. But I get everything done and anything else that comes my way.
-
As an educator, I chose the profession knowing I would be a life-long learner. Since I am neither happy with mediocrity and always want to strive toward whatever may be God’s next step in my life, I remind myself that in order to be an effective educator, I must seek after knowledge, techniques, and professional development to enhance the gifts I have been given.
-
I seek mentorship and advice from teachers who I see excelling in areas where I am weak. I desire to explore techniques outside my comfort zone if it means my students receive a better education.
-
I always like to talk other teachers to see how they do certain things to help me grow and find new approaches to things.
-
My most important is accountability. I know I’m accountable to God, but a flesh-and-blood- peer seems to keep me motivated.
