2004-2005 Academic Catalog

36 Biblical Education School of Humanities, Fine Arts, and Bible Bible Teacher Education The Bible teacher education major is designed for students anticipating teaching Bible primarily in a Christian school. The major provides a unique combination of content from Bible courses and pedagogy from education courses to manage a classroom and teach the Bible effectively. The Bible content portion of the program is modeled after the preseminary major with the exception of the requirement of Greek. Thus, a student could easily use this program as the foundation for further graduate study in seminary. This program would also lay the foundation for a person who, after having gained some experi- ence in teaching, chooses to pursue a master’s degree in education. The Association of Christian Schools International also approved Cedarville to offer ACSI certification in Integrated Bible for this major.
