How can you more effectively target Biblical perspective?
To get an idea of how you can more effectively target Biblical perspective to help your students connect what they study and what the Bible teaches, complete the following self-assessment for 1 class you teach: ___________________ (name of class). Next, use your self-assessment data to develop action plans.
 

Rate each statement below. Use the following scale:
4: Strongly Agree • 3: Agree • 2: Disagree • 1: Strongly Disagree
 
___ My target is for students to apply a Biblical perspective to course content they have mastered (not to master course content).
___ 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).
___ I provide value-added content by teaching students new Biblical perspective content and/or helping them make new connections between what they are studying and Bible knowledge they already have.
___ I am committed to targeting Biblical perspective.
 

Now, ask yourself 4 questions about the data: 
  1. How many 4s, 3s, 2s, and 1s do I have?
  2. What excites/concerns me about the data?
  3. What can I do to more effectively target Biblical perspective?
  4. What will I do?

How often do you ask your Biblical perspective questions?
You want to want to help your students connect what they study and what the Bible teaches. So, you’ve worked to develop a list of effective Biblical perspective questions to ask your students. Questions like “What’s wrong with the world?” and “How should Christian respond to suffering?” Good.
 
Question: How often do you ask your Biblical perspective questions? Once a day? Week? Month? Semester? Year?
 
To help your students better connect what they study and what the Bible teaches, how often do you need to ask them? Remember, the goal is not to have a list of effective Biblical perspective questions. The goal is to help your students make connections—and to do that, you need to ask your questions.
