Commentary:  As a historian who specializes in how slavery is taught in K-12 classrooms, I believe there are several ways educators can incorporate Juneteenth into their instruction that will give students a broader understanding of how Black people resisted slavery and persevered in spite of it.  https://lnkd.in/g-Tghugs

Respect is an important virtue to teach children. At Catholic schools, teachers emphasize a child's moral character, encouraging this value. Students are also taught excellent manners in the classroom. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eTK5-Cg8

At Hartfield Academy, we have a covenant model of Christian education. We believe that the home, church, and school pulling in the same direction cultivates rich soil in the hearts of students for learning and spiritual growth. Why do we spend time, resources, and effort investing in and equipping our parents? This chart shows the answer. We have just a few years to maximize our influence on our children! What are your thoughts? What role do you think education should play in the life of children?

The greatest 3 of Christian educators. They are not suggestions! While onboarding new staff to our team, I had the opportunity to introduce Christian education to them. We had so much to discuss but they fell in love with the 3 Greats. 1️⃣ The Great Mandate: Genesis 1:28 "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it." Teachers should help students to - Be a responsible learner - Be creative with their gifts & and talents - Be a good steward of resources - Improve what you (quantitatively and qualitatively increase) 2️⃣ The Great Commission: Matthew 28:19-20, "Go and make disciples of all nations." - Education should be mission-oriented A Christian teacher, by understanding the Great Commission, can integrate a mission-oriented perspective into education, The importance of spreading the Christian faith and positively influencing the world through teachings and actions. 3️⃣ The Great Commandment: Matthew 22:37-39, Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. A Christian teacher must grasp this commandment to foster a learning environment based on love, compassion, and respect, Encourage students to apply these principles in their relationships and actions.

 "Love, as mandated by Christian commandments, becomes the cornerstone of effective BWV education. It transcends the mere imparting of knowledge; educators must embrace a genuine love for the subjects they teach. As they navigate the curriculum, love becomes the conduit through which a 3-D worldview is transmitted, fostering an environment where students not only learn about faith but tangibly experience it."    - Matthew 22:37-39  #3dworldview #biblicalworldview #teachingworldview Read more at https://lnkd.in/guHTb5i7

Building Confidence in our Kids I listened to a classroom debate among college students recently. It was painful how weakly assertive they were: “I was thinking, if you looked at it a certain way, “ one student said, “ well, at least as I see it—I guess others could see it differently—something like this…” Whereas the task of education is to help older students become more broad minded and nuanced, beyond the simple dogmatism of their youth, we are failing in our first task: to build in them the foundational dogma to be later broadened. For many of our youth, the only real dogma they possess is not to be certain of anything. “Truth, what is truth?” Pilate’s question to Jesus echoes down through the ages and reverberates loudly today. Our Catholic schools must answer: He is! He is “The Way, the Truth and the Life” for our students. Our foundational purpose is to nurture our students in a community that believes that, which lives that out in a way that is joyful and attractive, and which invites students to enter into a relationship with him. Yes, the means through which we do that is by providing an excellent academic program, preparing kids for success in high school and college. But our end is much grander: to lead kids to the Lord. If we immerse kids in a community grounded in Scripture, Tradition and Sacrament, if we give them the opportunity to pray, worship, serve others and learn about their faith, if the practice of our faith is “normalized” in our day to day living, then we build in them the confidence of their convictions. Yes, life will challenge those convictions, to be sure. Yes, those convictions will become nuanced, over time, with experience. But we give our kids a great gift—an increasingly rare gift—if those convictions are first deeply rooted.
