My insight, knowledge, and skills

The insight, knowledge, and skills gained through this assignment specifically to the influence of the Christian worldview on identity, diversity, equity, dignity, worth, and value of the individual in the teaching/learning environment is that at the end of the day, God is the only one who can judge all of us. We are all equal is the sense that once death comes upon us, we will be judged according to our acts and many other things God has stated. We are here on the earth not to judge others or place ourselves at higher esteem than those that surround us, but to do God's work and bring people to him so they too can have everlasting life. To be more specific on identity and diversity, it doesn't matter what identity we hold and what type of diversity we fall under, because according to God, we are all equal in his eyes. With regard to equity, as God's children, I believe we have to keep that frame of mind at all times. No matter what kind of student we have in front of us or in our classroom, we are to treat them equally and act as though all of the students are equal. Their worth and value is great and equal. Not one child is more valuable or worth more than any other. And as a teacher, it is crucial for us to not only treat the students that way, but actually believe it ourselves because the students will feel and see right though us if we try to fake it. The students need to see that we care, value, and appreciate all of their unique identities and diversities. Our hearts should be pure towards students regardless of race, gender, academic ability, behavior, and work ethic. We must see ourselves as servants to a God who has greater things in mind for those students and were are merely a vessel through which his work shall be done.
