How To Use Christian Education Principles For Teachers

By Jerry Moore


Teaching is a fulfilling career because not only does it provide opportunities for personal growth, it also allows a teacher to make a difference in the life of the child. To be an effective educator, it is best to incorporate Christian education principles for teachers at every stage of designing and implementing the lesson with the students. Here are some tips.

Creating a good lesson plan starts with understanding what the learners really need. Although usually, there is already a schedule that has to be followed, a teacher should still be sensitive to the individual needs to his students. He should also know the level of understanding or the background of his students regarding the subject matter.

Although many subjects can become repetitive, this should not make the teacher rely on old lesson plans and materials that he has already used. He should continue reading on the topic as it is discussed in textbooks and reference materials. The district may also have a new guide on how to discuss the topic. For further references, the teacher can use digital materials that may contain new developments on the topic.

A lesson plan should refer to various references so that the teacher has a guide on coming up with new and different activities for the subject. The lessons should be divided into small and short chunks for easier understanding, especially for learners with short attention spans. This should also include activities to check for the learners' understanding. Ensure that the activities follow their recommended times to complete all of the lessons for the day.

Learning should be fun for the learners in order to encourage retention and understanding. Fun learning activities can include games, roles play and some forms of group work. Short games can be used to introduce a topic and can even gauge the learners prior knowledge on a subject. While it is encouraged to used games that are relevant to the topic, almost any game can help in the holistic development of an individual.

During discussions and exercises, determine if there are students who are struggling with the topic. Try not to draw too much attention to them in front of the class to prevent them from being embarrassed. Encourage the students to ask questions to clarify topics that are still unclear and acknowledge every question being asked. After identify learning challenges, find out which would be the best form of intervention for the student.

Learning should not just end within the classroom. Give meaningful assignments and projects that will reinforce learning outside the classroom. For difficult concepts, such as math, chemistry or physics, explain to your students how these concepts can be applied in daily life or in business. The following meeting, include a few activities to review the previous lessons.

The teacher is a facilitator and a guide to learning. Expect that there will always be students who may have challenges learning or focusing on the subjects. To encourage a student to learn, a teacher must employ various methods to ensure that the topics are interesting and relevant to the students. Using videos and digital presentations can greatly improve improve learning for young learners.
