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.
