Praxology vs. Pedagogy sprang from my regular experience as a teacher with the repeated question(s): "Where did you get that stuff?" Or, "How do you do that?" I love to serve and love to help share with others some of the things I have found helpful so here it is all collected together!
Teaching is a high calling, one which I know the Lord calls all who are to take seriously, as James 3:1 says: Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness." It is a deep conviction of mine that their is a great difference between teaching "Christianly" and a Christian teacher. I ask myself on a regular basis can the practice (subject, media, etc.) I am endeavoring to teach be taught better, as unto the Lord? Can it be used to move students to worship? Is it useful in causing the Christian to be sanctified? Does it work towards being more like the Master Teacher? This path of learning myself leaves way points as many others (and better) have done before. So this site exists to serve as a resource for teachers, the way points, milemarkers if you will, I have gathered myself. It is specifically for Christian teachers, with the aim to answer some of those questions and to hopefully gather others' way points from those who have the same heart.

If this is your first time here, welcome! Many of the tools I am amassing will take a while to move to the site but starting with what you can readily see is a good idea. Many of the posts I leave are responses to things I am asked at school or are responses to what I have encountered in my own experiences. Feel free to participate yourself by leaving comments on your own experiences and recommendations! I am hopeful this will be a useful resource for many beyond my own place of effort and would love to know if they are. Thanks for visiting.
