Recommended: Professionalism within the teaching field

Character/ Faith Development is important for any teacher, but especially for those aspiring to teach in a Christian school. It is important for a teacher to be well rounded, and do some community outreach, such as volunteering, in order to be a good role model for their students. Having good character is important for everyone to have, not only teachers. But the teachers do inspire the students to have or not to have good character. It is our job as teachers to help the students understand what it is to be a good, hard working person. Explain which classes or experiences have contributed to your understanding of this standard. My Nature of the Exceptional Child class has demonstrated the need for this standard through volunteer hours. It

    Schultz also stressed the importance of a biblical worldview in the teacher. As the leader in each classroom the students will adapt their teacher’s beliefs, values and finally actions. If they are taught by a teacher who holds a dualistic view of dividing the sacred and the secular, or a postmodern or modern worldview, it will adversely affect the ability of that child to develop Christ centered wisdom based upon the Word of God. Schultz, in referring to the education of children, stated “anything that hinders their moral and spiritual development is the epitome of child abuse.” (2006, p. 163). As such, our curriculum, teaching methods, and moral example, must all reflect a biblical worldview that will evangelize and discipline each student to know and love Jesus Christ.

    Acts of Faith (2005) is a breathtaking account of civil war and genocide in Sudan penned by Phillip Caputo.

Set in the mid 1990's, there are no clearly defined protagonists or antagonists as Caputo shows in the novel the full circle of human nature, both evil and good, selfish and selfless.

    Many people would not believe that worldview would be involved in the topic of work, but it certainly is. Worldview stretches throughout almost every facet of our lives and is even an intricate part of work. Christian and secular viewpoints differ immensely when it comes to work. Many Christians believe that work is an intricate part of God’s plan for mankind while the secular viewpoint sees it as more of a personal, everyday activity the serves no more of a purpose that that of personal success. The secular worldview has distorted the context of work and only the Christian worldview can redeem it to its original context.

    ...ique ability to act as role models for students. If the main goal for schools is to transfer democratic ideals and engender critical thought to students, then teachers must epitomize these ideals and practice critical thinking. This means constantly analyzing all behavior and always avoiding making assumptions regarding curriculum and class exercises. Additionally, my students will trust my decisions and judgment when they have a perception of me as an expert in my field. For example, a person will trust the writing tips of a teacher when that teacher has published a book before. Teachers who can create a professional persona for themselves will legitimate their roles as authority figures or experts in their field. Moreover, students need to see their teachers have an active role in our local communities, especially those that directly affect the school community.

  • Christian Realism Research Paper

    635 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Christian realist understands that evil exists as a result of man’s brokenness- each individual by nature is sinful and self-centered. If this is left unchecked, this brokenness will eventually resort to extreme behavior to secure their desire. This is the permanent struggle and the establishment of laws is to provide order in society by curtailing this selfish and detrimental behavior. In an approach to immigration, the Christian realist accepts the laws of the state as the best way to curtail this brokenness in man and uses this to justify a position of not supporting an open border. The regulation of the border is a way of providing man with the guidance which is needed to curtail his desire for self-centered goals. The need of the greater whole is what supersedes when faced with the choice between a nation’s stability and helping the stranger. Even Jesus’ vision of heaven is called ‘upside-down kingdom’ because how different it is from the way of man. Thus, the regulation of states in all issues, including immigration policy is important as left to the individual

    As students, knowledge is very important to guide us to continuo our education. A way to acquire knowledge is to have a role model in our lives. In this society almost every child, adult and elder has o had has a hero in their lives. It is very important to have someone to admire because it helps to increase our interest in education and eventually it will lead us to gain knowledge. Role models make the students to feel positive that they will be able to fulfill their dreams. For example, I grew up in a Christian family. My role model since I was a little girl was Jesus. I wanted to be like him, and follow all his teachings. I knew that I could gain knowledge through his words. I know that most religions have a leader that most of the people follow.

  • Essay On Missionary Teachers

    This is true of all teachers that they should have a vision and purpose in order to firmly grasp why they believe their profession contributes to the improvement of students and the world (Edge, 2003, p. 708). Because Christian teachers believe their religion impacts someone for eternity, it is evermore important for them to be able to justify why they are teaching as a platform to share their religious beliefs. All teachers bring their own perspectives and worldview to their classroom; different aspects of their lives influence the classroom, and religion is one of the biggest influences upon a teacher’s pedagogy. Therefore the intersection of English teaching and living out one’s faith cause a missionary English teacher to be ever so aware of their identity and purpose. One study of missionary English teachers identified that an individual having a sense of purpose and identity is one of the most telling signs of whether or not that individual will thrive or fail in a cross-cultural setting (Wong, Kristjansson & Dornyei, 2013, p. 27). Furthermore, before one focuses on the specifics of English lesson plans or Christian evangelism tactics, he or she should have an awareness of who they are and why they want to cross cultures and borders to

  • The Importance Of Religious Faith

    713 Words  | 2 Pages

    Religious faith is something that is very important to me. I would define religious faith as the belief and trust in a higher power. It is called religious faith because one cannot prove that their God exists, but they still believe and have trust in their God. I have religious faith, as I am a Catholic, and believe in God and his Son Jesus Christ. My faith is something that I live out each and every day by following the teachings of my religion and practicing its values. Faith, quite frankly, makes me who I am and helps give my life meaning. My faith is very similar to what Tilley describes as, “the relationship between one and the irreducible energizing source of meaning and center of value in one’s life.” (Tilley, Faith, 26.) This means

  • Good Habits of Character are Necessary for Teachers and Their Administators

    2927 Words  | 6 Pages

    I feel it is important for educators and administrators to develop good habits of character, such as self-respect, generosity, good temper, and sincerity to name a few. Since good habits of character are developed in our youth, adults are responsible for instilling values in the young. It is important that teachers and administrators promote and maintain a high level of competence and integrity in practicing their profession. Without good habits of character, it would be impossible to teach effectively or lead. Teachers must make good judgments when it comes to instructional methods and curricula, so it is important for administrators to employ educators who have good habits of character and try to develop others through professional development.

    Growing up I was raised in a religious household, so, of course, I’m a big believer in God and my faith. To me, God is the creator of all and I believe Judgment Day is going to come very soon.The definition of faith is the belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion. My faith and the reason for my faith goes hand in hand because it makes me know the truth and opens my eyes to this world. Also, I get clarity of why I’m in this world which is to make it a better place. But seeing the world as faith with reason or reason with faith has a few challenges and can make things a little bit difficult. Same goes for science and religion which butt heads a lot.
