Question 1: What characteristics stood out to you? How do these characteristics apply to Christian education now? What is your role in the education of your students?

Daniel and Timothy

If you are waiting for your materials, you can begin your study by reading the 1st 6 chapters of the book of Daniel. Then make a note about what you notice about Daniel's character. When you finish that, read 1st and 2nd Timothy, also noting what you notice about his character. We'll do something with these notes later.

Notebook Standard for "The Self-Directed Study in the Principle Approach"

We will be talking about the notebook standard later in this study. For now we need to think about modeling for our students. Use a 2 inch binder (you may want to add to the binder later). Place plenty of notebook paper and a set of dividers in the notebook. You don't have to lable the dividers yet; savet them for later. Only write on one side of the page with a using only one color of ink since that is what we will be asking of our students.

There's no need to yet be concerned about everything in the 'notebook standard'. We'll get to that later.
