What type of school do you work at? Public? Private? Homeschooling CoOp? How do you feel that impacts you as an educator and as a Christian, and the roles you can/cannot/do/do not play in the classroom?

I work in a public school. I have praying co workers with me. We know what our duties are, and we follow along, but we know some of the things presented to us, are not christ centered.

Thank you for sharing. So, how then do you reconcile this with your faith? I teach in public schools as well, but I'm becoming more and more concerned about its impact on my primary calling to the Gospel.
The way we do our jobs will always be influenced by our worldview as humans, and while I understand my limitations according to what the school system has laid before me, I'm seeing some things coming that I cannot ignore or implement in good conscience. I'm concerned, and curious as to how other Christians are dealing with this as well.

Public adult school-more opportunity to have great, honest conversations with staff and students. God is so good and He wants to hear from us-just think, the creator of everything has time to listen to us! and He cares! May be leaving due to vax mandates-please pray that the Lord would give me wisdom and guide me on the next steps.

Glad to hear you feel your faith has such a positive impact in your position. Sometimes a sincere heart and open ear are exactly what people need, and the people of God are called to build the Kingdom - sometimes in exactly these moments of compassion and honest communication.
Definitely praying for you. This is a hard season, but God is good and He always provides. Keep the faith!

My concern is that here in Indiana, I have taught in 3 different districts over 21 years in traditional high schools & have not ever had a student teacher or Practicum observer in my computer lab classroom. The last school I left for my current career center dropped the computer science courses I spent 10 years building and refining all together. No qualified CTE teachers available. 🤷‍♂️

How do you set up your classroom? What can you tell me about how often you use instruments? What do you do to make them accessible? Thanks so much.

Is anyone else returning to fully in person learning? We have been hybrid/synchronous since September, which has been very hard and not very effective. They want us to have all Kindergarten students come back in March. I want to stop live teaching over google meet all day while also teaching my students in person at the same time, but there is not enough space in my classroom for safe distancing, not enough space for movement, and sitting at a desk all day is not appropriate for K kids!

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

Even in the Christian world, we can learn from secular teachers and scholars who have familiarized themselves with Biblical principles, even if they do not realize it. Who are some of these that you follow? Do you follow them often or sporadically? Currently I'm listening to the Jordan Peterson podcasts....www.jordanbpeterson.com/podcast/. Lots of great information from this psychologist who eventually found Christ. He has several audio books out as well. Worth your time to listen IMO...

Summer Reading.
I've just started (finished the introduction only), but already I would recommend highly to anyone claiming the name of Jesus Christ as our Lord and highest authority. The author is a brilliant man I've listened to for years. There may be some here who won't like it, but I would encourage Christians everywhere to take a step back and think about what is going on here. This *will* affect the way we do life & our jobs, as well as the way we love one another as Christ has commanded.

There are 100+ illustrations like this in my hallway because an English teacher thought it would be clever to use "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" to teach imagery. I can't imagine too many more succinctly effective ways to misrepresent God than this.

Has anyone here used the "Read Scripture" app? It goes through the entire Bible and includes accompanying summary videos from "The Bible Project" (whose videos can also be found on YouTube). I love how it groups portions of Scripture and the videos are helpful for making meaningful connections with the text. I love these for myself, but they're super kid-friendly, too. Excellent support for your daily study. Enjoy!

How can we be praying for you this week?

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (1 John 4).

"Christian" has become a confusing term for many in the outside world, I believe largely because it is used to describe a wide variety of denominations, each teaching something theologically unique.
What denomination do you most identify with? Did you grow up in this denomination, or did you arrive at this understanding later in life?
