00:00 / 01:04

Training the heart is what we are called to do as parents/teachers (Deuteronomy 6:6-7a). A Biblical philosophy of discipline must include more than merely administering consequences for behavior or accepting sinful behavior in order to keep students’ self-esteem intact. This workshop will focus on developing obedience in K-5, responsibility in 6-9, and independence in 10-12.

Jason Croutch emphasizes discipling the heart of students to glorify God, drawing from biblical principles to guide teachers in nurturing godly character over mere behavior modification. His key points are:

  • Heart-Centered Discipline

  • God’s Glory as the Goal

  • God’s Role in Transformation

  • Objective, Biblical Instruction

  • Developmental Stages

  • Practical Application

"A Biblical Philosophy of Discipline: Discipling the Heart" was presented by Jason Croutch at Teachers Week 2015, on August 4-7, 2015, held at Faith Builders Educational Programs in Guys Mills, Pennsylvania.
