On this episode of the podcast, we bring you a live interview in collaboration with the co-hosts of the Hallway Conversations podcast. Our featured guest is Dr. David Mulder, who has written a new book: Always Becoming, Never Arriving. This episode is a conversation about the craft of teaching and what it means to "teach Christianly". Among the topics we discuss:
- Some of the biggest misconceptions and surprises about teaching
- What it means to develop a "teaching imagination" and to say that teaching is a calling.
- The relationship between play, improvisation, and technique in the classroom
- How to take our work seriously without taking ourselves seriously
- How to teach "who we are" while also taking into account what students need and what the material requires
- Why most definitions of what it means to teach Christianly are incomplete
Even if you're not working in Christian education, it's a great opportunity to look over the shoulder of a master teacher who is passionate about his craft.
