How would you/your school develop a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum?

03/03/09 16:39
As a result of getting a Christ-centered education, we want our students to love God with their minds. So, we want our students to develop a Christ-centered worldview. One way to do to this is by having our students experience a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum:
  • Guaranteed: All teachers at a given Christian school teach specified Bible content in each subject they teach.
  • Viable: All teachers have sufficient instructional time to teach the specified Bible content.
  • Biblical perspective: The specified Bible content is formatted as Biblical principles. Each Biblical principle is supported by at least 3 Bible passages.
  • Curriculum: The specified Bible content is documented in the curriculum.
To move forward on developing a Biblical perspective curriculum, you’ve reflected on 5 key questions:
  1. Regarding developing a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum, what are the opportunities/problems?
  2. What’s your stakeholders’ perspective of a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum?
  3. Where are you/your school in terms of having a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum?
  4. Regarding developing a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum, what’s your/your school’s level of motivation?
  5. To develop a guaranteed, viable Biblical perspective curriculum, what do you/your school need to keep doing? start doing? stop doing?
