Christian Faculty Fellowship member Anthony Tongen shared this link about grace and teaching: Francis Su acceptance speech. In it, mathematician Francis Su accepts a teaching award and makes these two points about grace:
- “Your accomplishments are NOT what make you a worthy human being.”
- “You learn this lesson when someone shows you GRACE: good things you didn’t earn or deserve, but you’re getting them anyway.”
In the speech, Su explains that in his religious view, Jesus is the ultimate giver and source of grace. Many of us who take teaching seriously have found this talk insightful and inspiring. Here again is the link: http://mathyawp.blogspot.mx/2013/01/the-lesson-of-grace-in-teaching.html
