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?
-
In Dr. Black’s visual, she is demonstrating the importance of needing to be centered on the Bible in everything that we do and teach.
-
I see this as we are to make God’s word the most important part of our lessons. We need to start and end with his words in mind.
-
I view this as an example that the Bible is where we need to start in preparing our lessons, then we can use some other material, a textbook, a power point, assessments, etc, but then we need to make sure that it aligns with Scripture.
-
We relate our lives to the Biblical truth all the time. Why do we separate our curriculum from God’s truth? I completely agree that they need to be integrated and applied based on the Bible
-
I completely subscribe to the this concept represented by Dr. Black’s visual. If we are to have and sort of Bible integration in our classroom, it must begin and end with Scripure. Not only cour urriculum, but also our material (scope, sequence, outcome, etc) should all reinforce, and be aligned with, what we espouse in Christiam education, and point back to the Bible.
-
What are some techniques you have used, or currently use, to encourage a growth mindset in yourself?
-
When things interest me or spark curiosity, I like to search them on google scholar instead of just google in order to learn more in depth, scientifically studied information.
-
The Holy Spirit is my Comforter who delights in making me uncomfortable when I am settling for less than He’s had in mind for me. He prompts me to continue growing and facilitates that growth. One of the ways He does this is by stirring me to pray for humility, and an increased and sustained sense of awe, reverence, and wonder for God and His Word.
-
I’ve considered complete retirement from teaching and not renewing my State License. This ACSI certification may take the place of State Licensing, though I am hesitant to give up that which I worked so hard for. I just feel like I need to press on and not give up all. The Lord may have a place for me yet in teaching.
-
I challenge myself to give new assignments for every new class despite having the content material being taught to be the same every semester. This challenge causes me to look for the most effective lesson plan for each topic.
-
I seek to improve on teaching strategies in the classroom and outside as I am connecting with students and building relationships.
-
What do you hope to gain from this course?
-
I hope to learn different ways to integrate the Bible into my everyday work with special education.
-
I would like to make my curriculum stronger and intentional.
-
I hope to make Biblical integration in my classroom, a natural component. Not staged, not to “mark it off”, but more of who I am in my classroom.
-
To remind me why I do what I do.
-
I hope to gain some practical ways to integrate the Bible into my classroom lessons. I have always struggled with planning this ahead of time so as to show that in my lesson plans. It comes up organically very easily, but planning it ahead of time is a bit more challenging.
