Introduction to Dispensationalism
Dispensationalism is a theological system borne out of the literal, historical-grammatical interpretation. At its core, Dispensationalism understands that there is a distinction between Israel and the Church and understands the purpose of God in this earth to be doxological. This class will investigate the theological framework of this system, explaining its origins, and its developments. Additionally, it will present a case for declaring this system the most consistent hermeneutical tool in studying the Scriptures. Prerequisite: None

Integrating the Bible into All Subjects
This class is a “block” class designed for education concentrations in their senior year. This class provides an opportunity for teachers to focus on inculcating God’s word into every subject. Students are reminded that “Bible” is not to be a separate class in the curriculum of a Christian school, but that it should be included in every class. This course places an emphasis on teachers learning how to put God and the Bible at the center of their individual lives. As a result, God and the Bible can properly fill every area of the teacher’s life and instruction. Prerequisite: 96 credits earned; Corequisite: ED 430, ED 441, and ED 451

Practical Teaching Methods
This is a senior-level course designed for elementary and secondary education concentrations. This course meets for half a semester. Primary areas of emphasis are: 1) examining and testing modalities of students; 2) examining the various methods of teaching that may be utilized in the classroom; 3) studying the areas of the brain and how they relate to modes of learning and memory; and 4) developing lessons to make learning “stick,” meaning the knowledge and skills taught are more readily remembered by the student. Assignments include reading the course text, comparing certain pages to Scripture, researching learning modalities, and writing detailed lesson plans that exhibit a “sticky” learning paradigm.

Integrating the Bible into All Subjects
This class is a “block” class designed for education concentrations in their senior year. This class provides an opportunity for teachers to focus on inculcating God’s word into every subject.

This course places an emphasis on teachers learning how to put God and the Bible at the center of their individual lives. As a result, God and the Bible can properly fill every area of the teacher’s life and instruction. Prerequisite: 96 credits earned; Corequisite: ED 430, ED 441, and ED 451
