Reflective Hearts and Minds at Work: Shaping the World's Future through Christian Education: Reflective Devotional Journal for Educators

This reflective devotional journal for Christian educators is intended to help educators (at all levels and in any environment) gain encouragement through God's word, reflect on current practices, and set intentional goals that foster student learning in a positive way. The reflective format of this journal will help guide educators in defining some of the challenges they face daily, and will provide them additional strength through their faith, and a reminder that God is there at all times. Each entry includes a Bible verse (NIV), reflection for educators today, and an application to further connect the reflection to current practices. This journal allows educators to choose their own sequence of devotional activities with space for current and future reflections that apply to the scripture. Authentic assessment of current practices relies on the ability to self-reflect daily over time with an on-going awareness of student needs that guide the relevancy of instruction. The applications apply to educators working in Christian and non-Christian environments, both facing diverse challenges in the field of Education.
