Biblical Integration

I thought the courses were inspiring, fair, and well planned!

I have learned so much from Dr. Black and the book “Truth Weaving.” I came into our Christmas break burnt out, but the lessons and readings have helped me refocus on what the true purpose of Christian education is: “to enable [my students] to develop a biblical vision of life that will guide them to think and act for God’s glory and their own abundant living.” (from “Truth Weaving” by D. P. Johnson) I cannot wait to begin planning out biblically integrated lessons and encouraging my students to seek the truth found in God’s Word, even in math class!

This is a great place to begin in thinking about how Scripture informs our curricular goals as educators.

Interesting review of concepts.

Great course. I am going to try to implement the guiding questions we learned in lesson 11 and integrate more biblical strategies.

Excellent, thank-you!

Thank you so much! I’ve learned so much about biblical integration and Christian philosophy of education. I can’t wait to put it to use in class.

I really enjoyed this course and feel I learned a lot.

I understand the necessity of taking this course for ACSI certification. It is helpful to have each teacher who has that certification to have had consistent teaching on this subject. I just feel as if I am not quite equipped from the lectures or the reading to do this well. I realize this will take time to develop. I think it would be more helpful to walk us through the actual planning of a unit or lesson that is biblically integrated so we at least have an idea of where to begin.

This course was different than I thought it would be. It dealt a lot with the philosophy behind biblical integration. It was very valuable.

The course was great. It was easy to complete and convenient since I didn’t have to borrow DVDs from my school administrator to complete the course.

Overall, this course was good. I do wish the course could be done in groups so that there is some interaction. Although I can read others comments, it would be helpful to dialogue with others more.
Also, I am in-between schools right now. I am not sure how I will complete this without a supervisor observing me teach when I may not even be teaching next semester. I wish this was clearly stated before I registered for this course.

Thank you Dr. Black for sharing your knowledge and love for biblical integration. Your heart shown through during the lectures, causing your audience to be encouraged in walking out our faith as educators.

Thank you for helping me to further integrate God’s truth into my lesson plans.

This course was a great way to fulfill the needed requirements for ACSI certification. While I could have watched a video and read a book on my own, this course actually helped me improve my practice, and gave me important guidance. I also liked the pacing of the course- each section was appropriate in length and assignment.

I really enjoyed the focus on how to integrate the Bible and the importance of being intentional to study the Word of God yourself. I love the teacher’s prayerful heart and a reminder to pray that the Holy Spirit would be at work in the classroom.

I really liked Dr. Ellen Lowrie and believe she is invested in the spiritual well-being of our children and the next generation. Her lessons were clear and inspired. I think God is doing a mighty work through her to insure students will learn Biblical principles to guide every aspect of their lives. I think her assessment of the public education system was accurate. I like how we could work at our own pace, think about what we’ve learned, and apply the knowledge to our own scope and sequence, units and lessons.

I really enjoyed the material, even though as a School Counselor I don’t have to teach academic subjects. I am a firm believer in integrating God’s word into ALL subjects and wish all our teachers took this CPoE course.

This course is highly recommended. It learned a lot and gave me a lot of value-adding, meaningful, and informative biblical concepts. I truly appreciate our daily read university team putting up such empowering course. Thank you and God bless you.

Really interesting Lectures!

I wish this course had been available when i first started teaching. It should be part of any in-service at a Christian school.

Again, I like the fact that I could go at my own pace. It was nice to have reading choices as well. I purchased my reading materials on Amazon a while back, and it was, again, nice to have my own time scale for completing the required reading. Thank you.

This is an exciting course that keeps people in a continuous learning mindset, and I would recommend it to my colleagues.

The course was very informative and I will walk away with many nuggets to implement in my classroom.

It was a very interesting course. It challenged my level of engagement.

This was very well put together and enjoyable. The elements taught resonated so much with me. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I gained numerous ideas to improve my Biblical integration.
