Christian Education Principles For Teachers To Help Students

By Carol Nelson


Being a teacher is a great privilege. This is because they are always in close contact with children who are unarguably tomorrow's leaders. He, therefore, has the powers to influence what tomorrow would look like by the training he gives his students. Since this is critical, he should learn some Christian education principles for teachers to guide him in his career.

The first step to getting things done right as a teacher is to consider the place of work as a mission field. This means that the teacher sees his students as a people that need a positive impact. That means he doesn't consider his employment as a secondary option to what he wanted. If he has this in mind, he would be loved by the students and this can help him attain more heights.

If he has yielded himself to God, he is more likely to accomplish greater tasks than one who is depending on his might. Such a tutor also praises God always for what he helps him actualize every time in the lives of the students. One characteristic of the tutor who depends and relies fully on God is the hunger to pray.

The love that exists between the student and his teacher can go a long way in saving both his life and that of his family if it is genuine. Students with family problems can feel free talking to their teachers about them if he is loving and easy to approach. There are secrets only you as a teacher would get to know about certain students if you are loving.

Another principle that every teacher should have as a Christian is being less money conscious. The truth is that no amount of money is enough to repay a teacher who does his work faithfully. If what is paid is enough to cater for basic needs, the teacher should feel satisfied. Who knows, one of those students may grow up, get a good job and remember the sacrifices made by his teacher when he was a child.

One thing that must not be lacking in the life of a Christian teacher is humility. Being humble does not mean making yourself easily attacked by the students. It rather means knowing what they want and finding out how best to meet them even without being told. Some teachers do it the wrong way by expecting their students to be formal in all issues even when things are going wrong.

It is also important for him to follow God closely so as to go far in his career. Following God will make it easier to practice these principles without feeling any pain. Moreover, teachers who are closer to God are protected from the risks they are exposed to.

There are several other principles a teacher should have so as to go far in his career. Apart from these ones, there are others he should learn by going to seminars. Nobody gets success just by being lucky but rather, it comes from being committed to whatever one does in so many ways.
