Testimonies of Transformation

The teachers were asked, “as a result of the Transformation Education Training what are the most significant changes you plan to make in your personal life, classroom, school and community?”

“In my classroom, I hope to use a classroom discipline plan to help shape the character of my children and bring them closer to Jesus Christ. In the school, I plan to work closely with other teachers and my head teacher, all that I have learned here to help build good character in all of the classrooms. In the community, I pray that as pupils of my school go through these changes, other children and people will copy them for a better life.” By James Donnie Manley

“I have learned about how I should handle my classroom to become a safe and enjoyable place to get an education. The heart transformation teaching actually changes my whole being and make me to realize how to treat my pupils and others. The Biblical Based Curriculum (BBC) and all the topics treated clearly changed my knowledge and have love for God.”

“As a teacher, I’ve learned that the heart first has to be transformed in order for you to be able to live a life that is of importance because when the heart is transformed, you will yield an abundance of fruit. When teaching, you need to have a personal relationship and concern for your children and also for their parents or guardians. You have really changed our whole mentality of teaching. We hope you will be coming to schools to check and make corrections.”
