Transform-ed: Modeling "Willingness"
From a teacher in Europe:
In September I stepped into my own classroom full of students. It was like a slow motion scene from a movie with dramatic music playing in the background. It’s the point in the movie when you realize this is going to be a key part of the story. So, with my heart-rate racing, I introduced myself to the students and handed out the syllabus. It's the beginning of a whole new chapter I never thought would be part of my plan; but I'm so thankful that God knows me better than I know myself. He brought me to this place. I love teaching. I love being in a classroom. I love being around students and back in a learning environment. It was never part of my plan, but it's even better.
Transformational education is… being open to God’s calling and unique leading – and modeling this willingness to students.
