As a teacher, we set priorities as our plan and justify our content and pedagogy. We include various modes of knowing and provide for divorce learners (Brummelen, p. 134). Also teach our students and treat them with love and respect as a God’s image.

Recognize and incorporate the content, skills, and values that our school and education system expect we to teach (Brummelen, p.138).
