Transforming Teachers - Transforming Teachers (Global)

Visual Valet 2nd edition available in paperback

Visual Valet front cover Connecting the study of God’s world with God’s Word, the Bible, doesn’t happen automatically even with the best intentions. However, Biblical integration or faith in learning isn’t impossible. The Visual Valet can help you make connections in a way that transforms you and those you teach. Teaching Christianly is not easy, but this visual organizer will help you remember critical principles and wisely apply new practices. It is written from a classroom teacher’s perspective, but this book will be helpful for informal to formal teachers, parents to pastors, who are interested in relating all of life and learning to God and His Word.

The first edition has been available in PDF format for almost 20 years and as a Kindle book more recently. However, the second edition renews the illustrations and cover with some rearranging of the content to make it more accessible. This is the first time that you can order a copy of the book in paperback.

Have faith and experiment

It is such a pleasure to be able to share my thoughts with you all as you transform lives around the world. While the focus of this article is science, it can easily relate to every subject. God created this world and set us as caretakers.[1] Science is our process to learn more about the world that God made, which He considered good. Analyzing God’s creations can also be inspiring to our students. In science, students must concretely see the purposeful design of the world—both in the amazing way things work and through the difficulty of trying to recreate even simple parallel systems.

Knowing the Bible is not enough

By Harold Klassen, an educational consultant for TeachBeyond

Exploring or learning about anything in God’s world without considering God’s revelation of His plans and purposes for His creation is foolishness. But of course, you know that the Bible, God’s word, is important. Obviously, anything that claims to be Christ-centered must be Bible-based or it is merely the figment of our imagination. But what exactly is the role of the Bible in education? Why do many students struggle to see the relevance of the Bible? Why do many teachers find transformational interactions with their students so much easier outside the classroom, rather than in the midst of studying the details of what God has made, where Romans 1:19-20 says His power and nature are clearly seen?

The Book that made your world

The book that made your world By Harold Klassen

Wishal Mangalwadi has written three books about the impact the Bible has had on the modern world including his home country of India.

The insights into history, language, literature, science, and technology helped reshape my understanding of these important subjects as I saw in new ways the transforming power of the truth of God's word.
