Journal for Christian Educators, Winter 1998 Journal for Christian Educators From the Editor by Charles Walker Learning is the accumulation of knowledge through study or experience.
Teachers earn the right to teach on the basis of their personal investment in the learning process.
They have studied and learned their disciplines. Thus, teachers address both the minds and the hearts of their students. This is the general nature and purpose of the Christian school. Christian school teachers are perceived by parents and students as accomplished professionals who are also knowledgeable in the Scriptures. It is further assumed that teachers know their subjects, they know how to teach, they know how to motivate students to learn.
