Every student has God-given value and potential. What are the barriers to student development and how can we as teachers help them realize their value and potential? This class examines who our students are based on a biblical perspective and how this impacts the way they learn.

An understanding of each student is important to realize their unique skills, learning styles and potential for growth while shaping their character under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The responsibility of the Christian teacher is to have a clear understanding of what the Bible teaches about human nature and how that is manifested specifically in the life of our students. This process impacts the relationship with the student and the potential for learning together. Participants will be challenged to discover and reflect on the role they play in the life of their students through this course.
