Recommended: The pros and cons of diversity for the effectiveness of teaching and learning

My mission as a Christian teacher is one that drives me to go beyond just teaching academics. I wish to become a teacher in a Catholic school because the lifestyle and education are directed towards Christ. The Lord has called upon me to teach, educate, and lead students in the right direction in their Christian faith. As a teacher we are leaders and role models and thus influential in our students lives, our words and actions imprint onto the students minds and help them to become their best.

For over seven years, I've teach for the City of Calgary at the North Mount Pleasant Center and at Indefinite Arts Centre. I educate people with disabilities, art programs for youth, and adults. My personal goal as an educator is to encourage students to develop their abilities through self-expression, independence, working alongside others as compassionate humans, setting and achieving their own personal goals.

I have a learning disability myself and this allows me to understand diverse individual needs for students. I want to give students support and make them determined to do their best, more hopeful about their own growth, and confident about what they can accomplish. The opportunity to teach children that they have the ability to be compassionate, respectful and reflect in prayer for support while in school.

As a teacher in a Catholic School will enable me to openly teach the students to learn those traits and embrace their faith to enhance the lives of others. Allowing the blend of faith alongside learning will enrich the student's lives. in fulling God wishes I become a supportive educator and positive influence for the students.

  • Evangelism: The Christian Duty to Share Faith

    In a survey conducted in 2012, LifeWay.com inquired about the importance of evangelism among members of the Christian faith. The results of the survey showed that 80 percent of people who claimed to follow Jesus Christ and had openly devoted themselves to the teaching of Christianity, felt that they had a “personal responsibility to share their religious views and beliefs about Jesus Christ with non-christians” (Wilke, LifeWay.com). Surveys such as this reflect the Christian doctrine of evangelism and the weight it holds within the Christian faith. As can be seen back in the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus Christ commanded His followers “to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).” However, Jesus never told His followers how doing this.

    I have always wanted to be a Special Education teacher. I started deciding what I wanted to do in the eighth grade. This was also around the time I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Asperger’s is an autism spectrum disorder; people with it show difficulties in social interactions, and reading body language. For me, I have trouble making friends and having age appropriate conversations. It is difficult to read people’s emotions, which sometimes gets me into trouble. I have been given the gift to be able to help teach other children with special needs how to ride horses, and also learn about how the horses communicate with these riders differently then a “normal” person. Through working with Ian I have been able to obtain a better understanding of my career goals.

    Henry M. Morris emphasizes the importance of Christian traditional education. It is a Bible-based, Christ-centered process to teach students skills, knowledge, obedience, and the attitude for the future service for the Lord Jesus Christ. However, the society is affected by different kinds of philosophies, such as evolutionsim, progressivism, and rationalism. The key problem of these influential philosophies is man-centered rather than God-centered. But, Christian education transmits the biblical principles to students.

Ashton (2000) suggests there is no reason why religious education should not be interrelated with work carried out to increase literacy or other curriculum areas, both in thinking, verbal expression and the use of written language.

  • Philosophy of Christian Education

    1350 Words  | 3 Pages

    The statement “philosophy of Christian education” contains much information to be unwrapped. The term philosophy literally means, in the Greek, “love of wisdom.” In this case, the study of philosophy involves a “critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge” (Philosophy). My understanding of Christian education is what I hope to unveil in this brief document. A high-quality education of children must embrace a student’s intellect, spiritual nature, social life, emotional growth, and physical health. I see evidence for this in scripture as Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52). The goal of education should be the training of children, in every area of their life, for adulthood. What makes my philosophy of education different from the secular world is the distinctively Christian biblical worldview. It is this biblical worldview that sets apart Christian education from the public schools in our culture because we address the spiritual dimension of children that the secular humanistic education denies.

    Moreover, I believe every child in a classroom has something to offer. Every child entering the classroom has potential, the potential to bring something extraordinary and unique to the world. The classroom environment and the teachers need to be role models for students who allow them to grow morally, individually, spiritually and socially. Like Aristotle has said, teacher’s need to ingrain morals in students, and it is with education and learning we develop such values.
