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?
-
Our foundation of every lesson needs to be built on scripture. Our lessons will intertwine God’s Word from beginning to end.
-
She is saying that we must begin and end with God’s word. Everything we do and say should have it’s origin with the Bible.
-
She is saying that our lessons and plans need to begin and end with God’s Word. Everything we teach needs to be compared to God’s Word to see if it matches what God’s Word says or if it says something different. Those are opportunities for discussion in class and activities to discover the similarities and differences all while pointing students back to God’s Word through every lesson we teach.
-
God’s Word should always surround whatever we are reading,planning,teaching.
-
That GOD,S word is the foundation to all education.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
I am continually working on staying up to date on teaching, curriculum, and technology. This helps my growth mindset as I move forward to best support my students.
-
Remembering that we are all life long learners. That there is always something to learn!
-
I am intentionally challenging myself to continue reading books and writing down the ideas I have on various topics in the field. Writing forces you to think more clearly and completely about your ideas, and it especially builds discipline as you strive to keep the habit of writing daily or weekly.
-
I have asked the students in my class who are we honoring. I have started to ask myself that question too. I do my best and give God the rest. I have looked up ideas on line for professional and personal development. If I need help I will ask for it . I have asked God for wisdom and guidance in situations.
-
At the beginning of this year, I made specific goals to aid in my spiritual growth. I purchased resources that help me stay organized with my goals, reading, prayers, and notes. One of my goals for my quiet time with the Lord is to read the Bible through cover to cover in 2024. As I read, I have a guided journal where I answer comprehension and application questions to better reflect on what I just read. I also have a book that gives me a weekly task list divided into sections for prayer, service, gratitude, etc. This keeps me focused and eases my anxiety so that I am not overwhelmed.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I hope to learn how to integrate God’s Word in my daily class.
-
I hope to learn how to be intentional with integrating Biblical truth into my daily routine at school.
-
I want to learn some new ideas/tactics to relay to my team. I feel that I am a new- thinker in their eyes as a new person to Education, where I feel their approaches are out of date and boring. I like life and zest. I hope to gain some new insights to growth and help change the mindsets of some that are stuck in a non-growing period.
-
I teach Math 6 and Algebra. Every year my students have the opportunity to provide anonymous feedback to their teachers. There are questions on the survey about the teacher being a biblical role model and about how the bible is integrated into the class. At the beginning of the year, I give my little speech about how math is a wonderful example of how God creatively and rationally made the universe and creation using mathematics…then gave us the brains and ability to be able to discover these amazing connections in his creation. I pray over students before tests, and every lesson begins with a bible verse. But one of my 6th graders blurted out loud during the survey, “What does math have to do with the bible?” It seems that in the everyday teaching of math, not a lot. I hope to be able to gain a better understanding of how to convey to students the integration between the biblical worldview and the wonder of mathematics.
-
Ideas for biblical integration that would feel authentic, helpful, and comfortable for students at a wide range of spiritual levels.
