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?
-
We as educators have to keep God and his word as the center point of what we do!
-
Every single bit of what we do as educators, the necessary elements and the desired additions, must be surrounded by Scripture.
-
All of our lessons, anything that is taught should first be based on scripture, students understanding throughout how/why the subject/lesson is important to learn/apply as a believer, and again end on God’s word as the solid foundation it is.
-
As a visual learner, I appreciated her illustration. For me it demonstrated the key reminder of the course objectives. We should be sure to keep our scope & sequence and our curriculum content grounded in and surrounded by Biblical principles.
-
This is a visual of centrality of Scripture. Scripture should surround and be incorporated into everything that we do.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I am a very social person, so the easiest technique for me to use is communicating with other teachers. I am surrounded by peers that have more experience than I do and I learn so much from talking with them and listening to them when they share. I also tend to ask questions about things and try to understand the why behind what is being done.
-
I challenge myself to try new ways to teach.
-
As teachers, I believe we are the lead learners and we need to set the tone in our classrooms that we are coming alongside our students and learning too. If we are learning then we are seeking to expand our knowledge and lean into God’s wisdom as we explore new chapters of our field of study.
-
I teach my students the power of yet, but it works for me as well. If I am unable to do something, I remind myself that I may not be able to do it yet, but with growth mindset I will be able to do it if I put my mind to it.
-
I try to remind myself that I want to be a life long learner. That there is always something to learn! I work hard to stay on top of the new things happening in my field of teaching by watching tutorials and following articles to keep me in the know.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I am hoping to be able to discern and use biblical worldview in all I do.
-
New ideas to keep biblical integration meaningful and engaging for kids.
-
I hope to gain information on how to put biblical principles in my lessons better.
-
I am eager to hear what the Holy Spirit is revealing to me about the work He has entrusted to me as a student of the Lord and a teacher of His Word. It is wonderful so to see how something mentioned in the lesson sparks a thought that makes the puzzle of my vocational journey more coherent in light of God’s promises to me.
-
My main interest in this course, and in all courses that I take, is the Bible studies that are involved. I probably should not say this OUT LOUD, but teaching is the secondary interest for me.
