2 Educator as Servant Leader: Living and Modeling a Christian Worldview as a Reflective Practitioner Reflection and Continuous Growth, Collaboration, and Ethics Cultivating instruction is a vital task that necessitates commitment, interaction, and perseverance. Instructing a classroom comprises the mentality of identifying that each day is a different day and there are contemporaneous tendencies, stratagems, and methods that permits the teacher to propagate education in a way that warrants different comprehension stratagems that will harvest positive educational outcomes. The educator must possess the eagerness to collaborate with other educators, principals, and school confreres to pursue ways to engage efficacious exercises to aid development and fortify the students’ comprehension proficiencies. As educators we must practice in a learning method as well. In no fashion should teachers present themselves as a know it all, but we must acknowledge the fact that we must grow as teachers as well. The same way as students learns differently, teachers learn differently also. The most imperative way of teaching is to always display professionalism. Professional Knowledge Base – Reflection and Continuous Growth A great teacher is never to bold to learn new strategies and techniques to enforce in the classroom. Accepting that no matter how much teachers know or have learned, teachers can never acquire enough knowledge and resources. Educators must make it a habit to learn new strategies and teaching methods daily. Each student necessitates distinct learning methods and strategies must be incorporated in lesson plans to ensure that students exceed goals and expectations of standards and curriculum. Thus, the importance of teachers learning and exploring innovative and relevant methods of teaching is a vital task for student learning. The aspiration for unremitting erudition intreats an individual to endeavor for further advancement

3 and individual improvement. Possessing a mindset of unremitting comprehension allows teachers to see beyond education, it allows teachers to view difficulties as a chance for growth and advancement in student comprehension. Several occurrences present the embracing of erudition as one of reluctance and trepidation as combatted to seeing it with eagerness. To express comprehension to students, teachers must present humbleness to learn throughout their profession. The approach of understanding that no one knows everything is an effective way to unremitting learning. Acknowledging that each day is a for developing students mind with the gift of education is essential to students’ futures. According to Nakykki, Kontturi, Seppanen, Impio, and Jarvela, the concept of continuous learning is not new, but it is newly important in representing a lifelong learning ideology and combining formal and informal educational opportunities (Nakykki 2021). Informational expertise enlightens people what is renowned and what is not renowned to help govern the direction of quality instruction in the classroom to work to grow and strengthen the minds and knowledge of students learning and exceeding curriculum standards and objectives. The skill to lead, encourage, and influence individuals starts with self-assurance, self- knowledge, and self-respect. The aptitude to perform is not empowered in the comprehension of a specific event, curriculum area, or methods, however, it reposes in the principle of self- assurance. It is imperative for people to feel the joy of being able to complete diverse task and being able to comprehend the necessities of the curriculum. Some situations help power the aspiration to flourish because it permits the teacher to redirect on what has occurred in their lives and use those situations to structure how the teaching will be instructed in the classroom. Self- comprehension compels that teacher put prominence and morals on the innermost existence and peculiar credence, moralities, and standards that establish external activities, responsibility, and

4 communication. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” The will of God provides a path for educators who are aligned with his commandments. While teachers display humbleness as constant learners, God endows them with the gift to supply evolution, attainment, and personal characteristics. As God empowers teachers with the gift of educating and learning, it is teachers’ responsibility to gift students with the most essential education possible. All teachers possess their own methods and techniques of delivering instruction that is essential for their students. The framework of education and how students learn must be equivalent to the performance level of passing, proficient, and advanced. The performance level of passing is grounded on students unveiling broad understanding of the comprehension and abilities essential for success in the subject area. Performance level of proficient is grounded on students demonstrating a unique academic performance and mastery of the mandated material for success in the subject area. The advanced performance level is grounded on students exceeding the required curriculum standards in a subject area. Teachers must base their instructional learning techniques that aim to reach the performance level of advanced. Although we know that not all students will reach the advance plateau, we must strategize our teaching methods based on how students learn. Incorporating learning strategies that students are familiar with is a way to help students comprehend the necessary standards. Incorporating familiar learning strategies for students will help increase their comprehension skills for curriculum standards, benchmark assessments, and overall learning. Furthermore, there are state standards and guidelines that are given by the Mississippi Department of Education, each lesson plan should reflect the state standards and achievement plans. It is imperative that lesson plans are centered around student learning. Teachers must incorporate modern and 21 st century learning in the classroom to help

5 students become successful. Resources such as chrome-books, smart boards, visual displays, and online learning is a great way to help students earn academic scholarships and admission into colleges. The strategies can ensure success for students. Blended learning is a process that can be beneficial for teachers and students. Blended learning allows students to learn using a virtual and face to face learning environment. As we know, all students learn and comprehend differently. To advance student learning, teachers must find a way to balance different learning environments for students. Supplying the necessary resources to students will help students learn comfortably. Teachers must understand that God endows them with the skills essential to lead students and pour out knowledge into them. Teachers must have a pure and clean heart in the profession of education. Psalms 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Teachers must understand how to handle circumstances in a professional way. Teachers must lean on God to help transform students’ lives in the classroom. When we seek God, he never puts us in a situation that is not of him. God can do things that we cannot. It is imperative to seek him in everything that we do. Application to Practice – Reflection and Continuous Growth The demand for unremitting progress in education subsists more so today than ever before. There are certain philosophies that are absent from the classroom atmosphere that is poignant to the instruction assistance that students are receiving which in turn imitates their attainment rate, skill rate, and capability to master and sustain comprehension after high school. Teachers must be not become stagnant with curriculum, but they must find a way to teach and instruct the class on all levels to help with student comprehension. With continuous growth happening all around us, teacher must make sure that it is happening in the classroom also. Every

6 establishment improves sporadically, therefore, school systems and teachers must constantly grow to give students the knowledge needed to become successful. To instruct and lead a classroom with productive and effective instruction, the teacher must have a keenness to learn and instruct with different methods, and students must be willing to learn and comprehend using the provided methods given by the teacher. Providing continuous growth is not something that just happens, but it is constructed in the lesson plans of the teacher and in the learning of the student. Teachers must incorporate strategies and techniques that revolve around innovative learning. Teachers must reinforce standards that students struggled with and provide classroom practices to warrant the growth and development of students in the subject areas. Teachers must implement methods and stratagems to aid proficient and effective classroom instruction. The classroom instruction must be aligned with the state standards and learning practices. When teachers properly prepare and plan, it is easier to find different concepts to help students of all kinds find their path of learning. Teachers must be the champion that every student needs. Knowing that every student needs support in diverse ways will help the teacher change the way of student approach. Teachers are held accountable for how students learn and comprehend, therefore, efficiently planning and preparing is vital for teachers. The conception of which a class is educated establishes how effective students comprehend the standards and objectives. When instructing the class, the lesson should be centered around the comprehension skills of students. The lesson must be presented in a format that influences all levels of comprehension. Teachers cannot be stagnant with one teaching method; therefore, the classroom should reflect the emphasis of a circle that never ends. It is vital for teachers to find students strengths and weaknesses. Once teachers have found the students
