Teachers who want to spend eternity with their students…
That’s really what it comes down to right? It’s who we are. It’s who you are or you wouldn’t be here reading this blog, looking for answers, for inspiration. We are teachers who want to spend eternity with our students. Vocalizing this idea can admittedly make one shudder… eternity with THAT kid? No thank you! But that’s not what I’m saying. We want to spend eternity with the person they will become and we want to help them become it… to see their lives changed.
That’s the answer to the question I posed in my last post isn’t it? What do we want our students to become? We want them to be saved. We want them to grow in the spirit and in the unique gifting God has given each of them.
But how do we do this? We have our curriculum, standards and benchmarks, learning objectives, then we have our pedagogy, how we manage our classroom, our outside the classroom interaction with our students and on and on. Where do all the pieces fit? What ties them all together? What is the laminin for our classrooms?
What’s that you say? What’s lamanin? Great question… but it would go against my nature to give you the whole answer. Let’s just say that it’s the glue that holds us together… Google it.
Seriously, Google it… You will be amazed at what the substance that holds our bodies together looks like!
That’s your homework for today… come back and tell me what laminin looks like and how this applies to our conversation.
