Ask questions to help your colleagues focus,
think through problems, and reach their goals. For
example:
- If your colleague wants to increase student
understanding and application of a biblical
perspective, ask: How can questions help? What
questions do you want your students to ask? What
questions do you want your students to respond to?
- If your curriculum committee is brainstorming
ways to improve the curriculum, ask: Where are we?
Where do we want to go? How can we get there?
- If your administration wants to achieve its
mission, ask: What’s our mission? What’s our
definition of mission achievement? What’s our
current level of mission achievement? How can we
close the gap between current and targeted levels
of mission achievement?
- If your school is reviewing its philosophy of education, ask: What happens at a Christ-centered school? What is the role of biblical perspective in Christian education? How can we help students internalize a biblical perspective?
