Transformation of Teachers – the Tiny Steps

Tosin 
         I have been really encouraged by the small changes I am seeing in the lives of teachers that I have been working with.  Tosin talks about how she viewed biblical integration before (adding a moral to a lesson) and after (a deeper concept acknowledging God as Creator).  Doris has a box of activities for the students to do when they are finished their work, and a tin of pencils already sharpened in an attempt to both engage students and make the most of every minute in her classroom.  Jennifer has set up centers in her Kindergarten class.  She borrows books regularly and attends seminars paying out of her own pocket.  Ego shares how her perspective on children has changed (see January blog).  Bell-Gam came in this week to share about how it went when she tried to make her students talk more in class.  Spencer and Ngozi have gone to other schools to lead trainings on Christian Education. Praise God for tiny steps!

Sheila we continue to pray for you and the work that God has called you to do. Good to hear that despite the school closures you are able to hold fruitful teacher sessions. Great that your resource library is being used.

Individual liberty trumps states rights. If the state passed a law permitting me to live in your house, would you respond the same? Private school, private business, private house; the government should stay out. When they do not that is usurpation .Homepage
