What do you hope to gain from this course? In what specific areas do you hope to grow as a Christian educator?
-
I hope to gain insights as to how I can shift my focus from a secular science teacher who cannot speak of my faith to an educator who disciples and raises up my students to be confident in Christ, while they learn science.
-
I hope to gain a clearer understanding of a Biblical philosophy of education. I also hope to learn how to implement that philosophy through my teaching.
-
My main purpose is to update my ACSI certification. Secondly, I hope to truly reflect on what I do differently when teaching in a Christian-school classroom versus a public school classroom. I hope that the time I spend in reflection helps me focus my lesson plans.
-
I guess the driving factor behind this course is to renew my teaching license with ACSI. But it is so fun to be guided in reading, discussing and rethinking these issues again. I hope to gain a renewed commitment to give my best to God and my students.
I have already begun a growth journey recently, which has shown me areas that I want to gain depth. One of those is to be a leader in my school. Not for the sake of gaining but for the sake of giving and encouraging.
-
I hope to further my understanding of the Christian Philosophy of Education and discover ways to integrate this philosophy into my teaching. As a Christian and an educator, I hope to grow spiritually, (as this is a prayer of mine whether I am an educator or not). I also want to grow in my confidence as a trusted educator that shares biblical wisdom with my students. I’ve been working on scripture memorization and hope to grow in this area also, as scripture is indeed the foundation of all truths. I think it is also important to grow in knowledge of how the Christian Philosophy of Education stands up against secular philosophy.
