Why is it imperative that Christian educators have a Christian philosophy of education?
-
You cannot share a perspective that you don’t have. Educators need to know how to follow Christ themselves, so they can also lead students closer to God in the classroom.
-
We want the next generations to know who God is. We need to give them the tools to see how God has a plan for each of their lives and that He loves them.
-
to understand the depth of responsibility we have been given. We at times take a role as kin to parents and need to hold the obligation to raise the next generation.
-
Because we need to continue to teach this generation truth. In Judges 2, it states that there arose a generation that knew not God. This was because the parents/older people in their lives dropped the ball. Also, in Proverbs 22 it tells us that we need to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will return .

It is imperative for Christian educators to have a Christian philosophy of education so that they hold a solid understanding and have a firm foundation in Christ. Training children up with scripture and biblical views will aid in their future commitments to Christ and his teachings. Children learn through their daily contacts, meaning educators and school administration, as well as their homes. Being able to incorporate scripture in everyday interactions and teachings is vital.
