Wayne McCamey's Newly Released "Psalm 23 in the Classroom" is an Inspiring Blend of Scripture, Science, and Holistic Education
"Psalm 23 in the Classroom" from Christian Faith Publishing author Wayne McCamey is a fascinating book of insights on education and faith from a Christian school principal, focusing on the ramifications of Psalm 23 in every aspect of teaching and learning.
MEADVILLE, Pa., March 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Psalm 23 in the Classroom": a remarkable reflection on faith-based education, is the creation of published author Wayne McCamey, a grandfather married to a retired kindergarten teacher. He has over four decades experience working in education, from science teacher to sports coach, school bus driver to driving instructor, and finally an elementary school principal for twenty-two years.
McCamey writes, "When I became a principal, my teachers gifted me with a book written by Philip Keller, who wrote a book about taking care of his own flock of sheep. Treating sheep with kindness and always watching for their safety is not unlike being a parent, teacher, or school principal doing the same activities for children or students in their care.
"Respected teachers' voices are remembered and loved long after students graduate and have their own families. Psalm 23 in the Classroom shares moments of kindness and difficulties that arise when working with students, teachers, and parents. A shepherd and a teacher must have similar management skills for success to be achieved.
"The last part of Psalm 23 in the Classroom contains eight biology lessons that were fun to teach because students were highly interested in the lessons. The lesson comparing evolution to creation lasted for three days. One day was spent on evolution theories, one day on the biblical creation, and one day on scientific information mentioned in scripture hundreds and even thousands of years before modern science confirmed what the Bible already explained.
"The last lessons were about mankind's reproductive systems. These lessons were taught for sixteen years without a problem from parents, administrators, or the Six O'clock News. When I became an elementary principal, these same lessons were taught to grade 6 students without problems. My favorite saying to students was, 'Were the different components of male and female reproduction systems an accident of nature or were they planned to complement each other?'"
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Wayne McCamey's new book is a conceptually delightful and intellectually satisfying read that draws deeply from a single psalm to nourish the heart, mind, and soul.
McCamey not only offers an alternative view on education but shares inspiring examples of how faith and science combine beautifully and powerfully for a clear understanding of the world.
