CHRISTIAN EDUCATION BIBLE STUDY
Jeffrey O. Brown, Ph.D.
Introduction
​
Our ideas of education take too narrow and too low a range. There is need of a broader scope, a higher aim. True education means more than the perusal of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being, and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come. Ellen G. White, Education, p. 13.

Curriculum Information
Keyboarding and Document Production Exam
Technological literacy, an essential skill in the classroom and workplace, should be the shared responsibility of all disciplines. Expertise in this area provides tools for effective and efficient communication. This document identifies the use of a variety of formats and skills, the operation of standard computer systems, and manipulation and storage of data as necessary criteria for keyboarding competence. This assessment instrument has been separated into two test:
Test I – Basic Keyboarding
Test II – Keyboarding and Document Production
Based on the varying school programs, the teacher may choose to administer only Test I (Basic Keyboarding) for placement purposes. It is important for basic keyboarding skills to be mastered before other applications are attempted. Test II may be administered to allow a student to waive the class and/or receive one semester of high school credit for keyboarding. The student must take all parts of Test II with a cumulative score of 80% before exemption or credit can be granted.

Students Tell the World
Students Tell the World is the Office of Education’s support for Student/Youth/Child Evangelism. The ways that students share their love of Jesus is as varied as there are children in our school and churches. Each student/child hears the voice of God and responds differently. Teachers, pastors, and youth leaders must support, coach, and support the call that the young people feel to tell others of God’s love. Evangelistic series available for students and youth in Atlantic Union:
​
1. Write and develop a personal message/drama/skit with leaders help and encouragement (suggestions below).
