2023 Workshop Talk | 46:48 | Theology & Bible
Summary
Many classical Christian school teachers feel inadequate to teach God’s Word. Their intimidation leads to quick coverage of the biblical material, which does not equal comprehension or connection to the Eternal God Almighty. Instead of transformative discipleship, the typical Christian school teacher boils the lesson down to basic life lessons such as read your Bible, pray more than you do now, and be kind to others. James K. A. Smith contends that people build their lives around what they love. Let’s build our schools and classrooms around excellent bible teaching.
Speaker
Barbara Hansen’s passion for decades has been classical Christian education. She started her teaching career in Christian schools, but as soon as she understood the difference between a Christian education and a classical Christian education she was sold. She has taught in a variety of classroom settings: public, homeschool co-op, private Christian school, and classical Christian schools. Presently, Barbara is the Dean of Faculty at Seattle Classical Christian School, where she cares for the faculty and staff and reviews and trains teachers in curriculum. Barbara has four classically educated adult children, who occasionally thank her for the sacrifice required to receive their education.
