It should be used to train children in the way they should go and help point their paths toward God and Christlike living (Prov. 22:6). Education should help students develop the fruits of the Spirit (Gal 5:22-23). It should help Christian to develop a vocation with which to respond to the calling in life (Matt. 28:19-20).
Education should both pass on the timeless truths of the gospel, and reform the sinful world as an ambassador of God. Christian education is therefore both conservative and revolutionary. ]]> 2022-11-04 03:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369521582 Nature of Student thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369522603 Firstly, students are made by God in his image. We are a creation, but more than merely an animal (Gen 1:27). We are relational, and capable of love, kindness, and rationality. We are created to work and to be stewards over God's creation (Gen 1:28).
However, all people have been separated from God in the attempt to put ourselves in the place of God (Rom 3:23). Because of the fall, people have become inherently selfish and the image of God in humankind is distorted. There is a tension between good and evil, and ultimately sin leads to death. Because of the fall, our students will tend toward selfishness.
However, God sent his son Jesus to provide redemption for people. Through his redemption people can once again be restored into the image of God (Col 3:10). The ultimate need of students it to be reconciled to Christ. Students are people who have infinite potential as we engage in redemption and reconciliation toward Jesus through education. ]]> 2022-11-04 03:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369522603 Role of the Teacher thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369543742 Above all, Christian teachers are called to reflect Christ in everything they do (Phil 2:5-11, Gal 5:22-23). We are pictures of Jesus and his work as we follow his model of restoration in his ministry (2 Cor 5:20). We are to live by example and mentor and disciple those younger than us (1 Cor 4:16, 11:1, 1 Thes 2:6-12). Teachers are to be humble authorities, providing structure in humility (1 Cor 3-4). We are pictures of Christ through healing and protection as we work to bring about the upside down kingdom of the gospels (Luke 10:25-37, Amos 5:7-15, James 2:1-13). Finally, Christian teachers are mediators, bringing peace to those around them, and solving conflicts fairly in order to best represent the kingdom of God (Matt 15:18-35, 2 Cor 5:18).
In all these things, teachers carry the heavy but beautiful burden to represent Christ to their students (James 3:1).]]> 2022-11-04 03:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369543742 Nature of the Student thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2369550976 Students are functioning organisms. Through sensory experience, they can perceive the natural order of the world and understand reality.

Constructivism stresses how learners construct their own meaning, and knowledge is constructed based on previous learning, personal experience, and ideas of the world.
Social-reconstructionism and critical theory work well with post-modernism because both emphasize the social role of education. Social-reconstructionism focuses on social questions and the pursuit of a better society. Both emphasize that systems changed to improve human conditions and overcome oppression.]]> 2022-11-06 04:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2371457297 Describe the actions & words of a fictional teacher representative of this philosophy. thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2371457334 A fictional teacher representative of this philosophy would make sure to include content that amplifies the voices of the oppressed. Student voices would be heard, and the classroom library would be filled with diversity. In a history lesson, this teacher might show propaganda posters and ask students "what hidden messages can we see are being taught through this poster?"]]> 2022-11-06 04:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2371457334 Curriculum/Content thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2372045962 God has created every single detail of our world, and he is sovereign over all creation. All truth is God's truth. Every content area that we teach has the story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
Content we teach should inspire wonder and curiosity about God's creation. This is part of the story of creation. We are also to use the content we are teaching to show what it means to be a human made in God's image. 
As a teach my students to restore the fall in my content areas. We can look at the results of sin in our content areas and work to bring restorations. As a teacher, I should teach students to use their knowledge to help make a difference and work for restoration in their communities.
I can integrate the Bible or biblical principles into what I am teaching by using lesson objectives and learning targets to drive the integration. As a teacher, I need to connect the academic content I teach to living out biblical principles.

Jesus prioritized relationship when he taught. His students were his disciples, and he had close relationships with them where he mentored them closely and knew them well. 
Secondly, Jesus taught those around him using parables. He told stories that taught lessons, and were relatable to his listeners (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus also taught through object lessons that helped make points in new ways (Matt 6:30, 22:15-22). Finally, Jesus taught through questions. He asked questions that led people back to the truth of the scripture, and helped think in new ways (Mark 12:34).
Jesus' teaching on earth was filled with both theory and practice, and as educators (Matt 10:5-15; Luke 10:1-20).

As Christian educators, we should teach with methodologies that help people to realize their identity as made in the image of God. We should treat our students as more than animals, and help them become responsible disciples who can exhibit self-control through moral decisions and mental and ethical maturity. Our methodologies should lead to the development of Christlike character. According to Knight, Christians should teach students to consider new material, choose what ought to be done with it, and commit to act on what they have learned.

Just like Jesus, teachers must teach in ways that reconcile students toward God and lead them to him, understanding the individual needs of the student, and recognizing their own imperfect human state.]]> 2022-11-06 22:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2372048645 Describe the actions & words of a fictional teacher representative of this philosophy. thecolordiamond https://padlet.com/thecolordiamond/lxikm6qz9dqr7lbh/wish/2387714018 A fictional teacher who represented my philosophy would base the classroom off of the kingdom of heaven. Students would work hard at their jobs, recognizing that God created us to work. The classroom would be a community that values other people and treats all humans as valuable. This fictional teacher would ask questions like "in what ways to we see order in math? Can you tell me something you find beautiful about what we learned in science?
