2 What Teachers Make Bible Integration & its Significance in Teaching in a Christian School 2016 ACSI Teaching and Learning Conference 29 October 2016 Davao Christian High School, Davao City

4 I have two partners! and Jonathan David

5 I have two very special girls My wife LISA and my daughter GAIL

6 The Manuncias

7 What do we mean by Bible Integration in Education? Nature of God Creation Mankind Moral Order Purpose

8 Bible Integration in Education

9 And beyond this, that they may also think biblically and critically about every aspect of their lives. The goal of Biblical integration is to help students to think biblically and critically about every subject.

10

11 I feel about integrating the bible in the subject i teach

12 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. Romans 1:20 NET Bible

13 Urbanisation Digital Disruption Ageing Population Individualism Globalisation Climate Change Sharing Economy Global Megatrends

14 The Filipino Family NEEDS have now redefined ROLES Forced to cope Pressured to Provide Pushed to be employed

15 The Filipino Today

16 Deuteronomy 6 4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.a 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

17 God The Holy Trinity The Chosen The Essential Trinity

18 The Church and its Purpose in Education Teach the Foundations for Holy Living Lev 20:26 You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be my own. Role as a Teacher: Unravels the written Word to change the world.

19 The Purpose of the Family in Education Consistent Living Role as a Teacher: Lives out the Word to impact the world The strength of family relationship particularly the children s closeness to their parents, is reflected in the children s choice of their parents as role models Philippine study by Scalabrini

20 The Purpose of the School in Education Training up in Critical Thinking & Wise Decision Making Role as a Teacher: Presents a systematic Body of Knowledge for critical evaluation in preparation for practical application.

21

22 Jack Hayford says of a growing class of church people, 'they come for the show, but refuse to grow.'

23 It is unfortunate that gender boundaries are very much keen on children s views on parental migration, children of migrant fathers are more likely to say that their father left the Philippines to provide for the family, whereas children of migrant mothers more commonly claim that their mothers left to escape poverty. (Parrenas:2006).

24

25 Teachers are still grossly underpaid and overworked WHAT MATTERS MOST By Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez (The Freeman) Updated May 30, :00am

26 Placebo Bible Integration

27 Biblical Integration is: Seeing how the topic reveals the character or nature of God, Creation, Mankind, Moral Order & Purpose Family Church Teachers

28 What Teachers Make

29 Bring the Parents into the Conversation

30 Expand the Training of the Teachers

31 Broaden the Involvement of the Church.

32 Workshop School/Teachers Church Parents

33 Bible Integration is not a Task for Teachers alone Bible Integration in not a Task only for the School.

34 Because Education is among the primary roles of the three vital institutions that nurture the next generation, Biblical Integration in Education must therefore be appropriately regarded as a vital collaboration of the three foundational institutions of our society.

35 The Pew Research Center 2 April 2015

36 Ephesians 4:11 It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ, 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ s full stature. THE CHALLENGE!
