In Christian education, targeting Biblical perspective is vital. Targeting Biblical perspective means focusing yourself and your students on understanding and applying a Biblical perspective. To get an idea of how you can target Biblical perspective even more:
  • Complete the self-assessment below for 1 class you teach: _________________________________ (class name).
  • Next, use your self-assessment data to develop action plans.
Use the following scale to rate each statement below:
3: Consistently/Definitely • 2: Usually • 1: Sort of/Sometimes
  1. My target is for students to apply a Biblical perspective to course content they have mastered (not to master course content).
  2. My unit plans and lesson plans demonstrate that my target is for students to apply a Biblical perspective to course content they have mastered (not to master course content).
  3. I understand the difference between object lessons and applying a Biblical perspective to course content.
  4. I understand the difference between doing devotions and applying a Biblical perspective to course content.
  5. I understand a Biblical perspective of my course content.
  6. I can apply a Biblical perspective to my course content.
  7. I provide value-added content by teaching students new Biblical perspective content and/or helping them make connections between what they are studying and Bible knowledge they already have.
  8. I know the percentage of students who perform above, at, and below standard on Biblical perspective assessments.
  9. My supervisor actively holds me accountable to increase student understanding and application of a Biblical perspective.
  10. I am committed to helping students love God with their minds.
  11. I ask God to help students understand and apply a Biblical perspective.
