Courses for Teachers

January 9 - April 16, 2012

EDUC 569: Curriculum and Pedagogy: Biblical Studies (3 sem. hrs.)
This course is designed to deepen teachers’ knowledge of the Bible and its use in Christian schools. Participants will consider how to teach Biblical Studies from grades K-12, how to use the Bible as a devotional book, and how the Bible gives direction to the learning-teaching process in all areas of the curriculum. The course emphasizes the canonical order of Scripture, beginning with the Torah, stressing God’s plan from creation to new creation. All sections of Scripture—Torah,  history, wisdom literature, the (minor) prophets, the gospels and acts of the apostles, the epistles and the revelation of Jesus Christ—will be studied from the point of view of how these can be taught in the classroom. Participants will extrapolate from them pedagogical guidelines for the teaching of Bible and to see God’s power and glory revealed in them. They will develop scope and sequence charts, units, and learning activities for their own classrooms and/or schools. EDUC 569 SP12 Syllabus
