The Christian Pedagogy Lotus: Relationship and reflection for teaching Christianly

For Christian teachers to develop their practice, they need to intentionally reflect on how their faith and pedagogy align and to consider how they can be authentically Christian in their teaching and interactions with students, colleagues and parents. This small case study explores the use of the Christian Pedagogy Lotus (CPL) as a tool for Christian professional teachers to reflect on teaching Christianly. The study emphasised that teaching Christianly and being a Christian are interconnected, and the importance of maintaining a relationship with God, developing relationships with students and spending time to reflect on their teaching.
