Topic > Biblical Worldview Reflection - 733

According to MacCullough (2012), by knowing key worldview questions and biblical answers, a teacher is better prepared to integrate biblical worldview activities into his or her lessons. Furthermore, this can be easily accomplished in Christian schools by integrating the Bible and Bible lessons into the lessons taught. For example, MacCullough (2012) talks about students' processing activities and how one story opened up a whole discussion about God and how as human beings we can talk to God and that He speaks to us through the Bible. Additionally, Dr. Sam Smith discusses those who attend public schools and how they can integrate biblical principles. He states, “We believe you can best integrate biblical principles into public school by living your life as a model of Jesus Christ and doing what you do well” (Smith, 2012). This is encouraging for those who choose to work in a public school because, although they are limited in what they can say, they are still able to integrate a worldview. This can be done by letting Christ shine through them to their students. Likewise, this approach can and should be adopted in both public, private and Christian schools. Letting Christ shine should not only happen in the moments when teachers are in a Christian environment, but in every situation teachers encounter in their daily lives. In conclusion, teachers who share their worldview with their students and encourage them to expand and develop their own biblical worldview are giving their students a fully integrated education. A teacher's hope should be that what their students learn will carry them through life, always seeing everything through the lens of God..
