About This Seminar
Many, if not most, homeschool parents teach their own children not only to keep them safe or to protect them from negative cultural influences but also to ensure that they learn the standard academic disciplines from a Christian worldview. Yet, most homeschoolers need some help in deciding what constitutes a “Christian” or “biblical” approach to, say, math or literature. If the story problems are about church socials instead of rock concerts, is math then presented “Christianly”? If we blot out the dirty words in a story, have we presented the literature from a Christian perspective? This seminar will discuss approaches to biblical integration and then lay out the basics of a biblical worldview that can encourage a teacher’s decisions about how to present each subject.
Participants will be able to
- Explain why biblical integration in the standard academic disciplines is important
- Describe levels of biblical integration and the strengths and weaknesses of each
- Summarize the key biblical principles to be integrated into at least one academic discipline
- Demonstrate proper biblical integration into a lesson of his choice
Who Should Attend
Home educators who want the confidence that they can properly integrate biblical teaching into their curriculum.
