To help your students better connect what they study and what the Bible teaches, DEAL with student learning needs:

• Define the student learning needs.
• Explore the how you can respond to the student learning needs.
• Act.
• Look at the results.

Considering getting coaching? If so, be sure you know what coaching is. 

You can find out what coaching is by experiencing a coaching session. And you can experience part of a coaching session by watching this 5-minute video of me getting coached. 

A coaching session usually takes 30-60 minutes and includes identifying a goal, exploring the current reality of the goal, brainstorming options for addressing the goal, and determining action steps. In this video, youll see me identify my goal and then begin exploring the current reality of my goal.

Do you want to help your students connect what they study and what the Bible teaches? To value those connections? And to get feedback you can use to modify instruction? If so, give your students a Biblical perspective assessment.

Through coaching, you can empower others to grow. While effective coaching does involve technique, at a deeper level effective coaching is about your heart, about your beliefs, about who you are. Coach from your heart.

The point is not to have goals. The point is to achieve goals. To achieve your goals, take 4 steps: pray, put, take, and reflect.

Want to empower others? Provoke them to reflect. How? By asking open-ended questions.

Help your students develop a Christ-centered worldview during class by teaching Biblical perspective lessons and giving Biblical perspective assessments.

Want to help your students better understand and apply a Biblical perspective? Ask questions!

God calls us to manage ourselves within the time He gives us, not to manage time.

By targeting Biblical perspective, teachers can help student apply a Biblical perspective to what they study.

If you want to achieve your goals, get a coach. Your coach will listen, ask questions, and provide the support, encouragement, and accountability you need to achieve your goals.
