Application by Faculty - Humberto Rasi
Faculty approach their subjects from a biblical worldview, discovering in their subject matter the themes and issues that naturally allow for an explicit connection to be made between the curricular content, on the one hand, and the Christian faith, beliefs, and values on the other. Faculty highlight these connections in their course plans, lectures, course assignments, class discussions, thought questions in examinations, and other learning experiences, with the goal of leading their students to develop their own Bible-based view of knowledge, values, life’s purpose and destiny. In addition, faculty commit themselves to provide attractive models of Adventist thinking and behavior in their interaction with students within and outside the classroom.
Application by Staff - Humberto M. Rasi
Support staff members also play a significant role in the process of integrating faith and values with student learning in the business office, cafeteria, chaplaincy, counseling, dormitories, library, maintenance, sport fields, work areas, and the like. Their respective service departments develop descriptions of how each area, through its employees, transmits specific institutional beliefs and values to students in their daily interactions and work assignments.
Application by Administrators
Educational administrators who are committed to biblically-based teaching and learning set in motion an ongoing, campus-wide board-endorsed plan that involves both faculty and staff in the transmission of the beliefs and values the institution wishes to convey to the students, solidly grounded in its own statement of mission, values, and vision. Such a plan includes the selection of new faculty, asking them to provide a written statement indicating how they will support the institutional mission and values in their courses, and also the induction of new faculty, guiding them in the integration of faith and values in their teaching. The plan often assigns to academic and support departments the responsibility of identifying the institutional beliefs and values applicable to the respective area of endeavor, including the course syllabus level. Some colleges and universities request that, as part of the tenure process, the faculty member involved present a document describing how they teach in their own particular fields of expertise. The biblical foundations plan usually assigns the overall coordinating responsibility to a representative committee that is granted the authority and provided the necessary resources to design, promote, supervise, and assess the plan’s effectiveness, making adjustments as needed. This unified plan helps administrators support initiatives that foster the effective transmission of those core beliefs and values and likewise de-emphasize or discard activities that do not contribute to this overall objective.
