God Is in the Details: Making Every Moment Count in the Classroom – Diana Meadowcroft

Back to Conference Home

2020 Workshop Talk | 37:04 | K-6, Teacher & Classroom

Summary

To recognize that God is in the details of our classroom is to recognize that we are ALWAYS teaching and need to plan beyond our lesson to how our classroom space, routines, and appearance instruct our students. While the principles discussed in this workshop apply to all stages of the Trivium, grammar teachers will be especially encouraged as we bring the how and what of their classroom together for layered learning that shapes their students’ loves. Some of the biblical principles we will consider when discussing a classroom’s space, routines, and appearance include: redeeming the time; honoring others; and God as the source of all that is good, true and beautiful.
