Silence is golden
Last week we talked about letting go. One thing we may need to release is our right to talk. In fact, as Patrick Seifer explains, when using activities to teach, we may find that for teachers silence is golden.
Letting go is hard to do
When using activities to teach, we have to be willing to let go. Aliel Cunningham gets us thinking about taking our students on a journey outside our comfort zone and theirs.
It’s (not) all fun and games.
Continuing our look at activities, Christina Nipper gives us food for thought: Should learning be drudgery? What’s a good balance between purposeful and playful?
Involve me, and I understand
We’re starting a new series today focused on designing and implementing activities. Melissa starts us off with some comparisons between involvement, engagement, and empowerment.
Building Bridges
How can teachers be ministers of reconciliation when teaching a language with a history of hurt? Jacob Shylla shares from his heart about this dilemma and how he longs to build peace.
The Great Reconciler
How can a teacher be a minister of reconciliation (restoring Shalom) in this life and toward the one to come? Harmony Bell Olabode gives us a thought-provoking answer that breathes peace.
Living together in Harmony
We’ve asked a few people how a teacher can be a minister of reconciliation (restoring Shalom) in this life and toward the one to come. Before sharing their answers, let’s first prepare our hearts before the throne in search of harmony.
Sharing in their Humanity
This week Aaron Carmichael gives us his perspective on what it means to be a teacher who follows the Master Teacher. In his “this i teach” post, he tells a story that reminds us to empathize like our Master.
