1. Why is it important to teach worldview Curriculum?

Christians need to understand that the truth of God's word applies to all of life. They need to be able to discern truth from error, whether sitting in a university classroom or watching the evening news.

2. What is the goal of the UTT Curriculum?

The first goal is defensive. We want to protect Christian youth from deception by anti-Christian worldviews. A recent UCLA dissertation showed that of the college freshmen who identified themselves as "born-again" when they entered college, only 50% identified themselves that way when they graduated! The second goal is offensive. We want to train up Christian leaders who can actively champion the truth of Christianity in a culture of relativism, paganism, hedonism and confusion.

3. What training is required to teach your worldview Curriculum?

The key components for a successful teacher are a heart-felt vision for worldview thinking and a willingness to invest time and energy in communicating that vision. The video format, along with the discussions and projects, makes it simple to teach the course without extensive background or training. However, many educators find they benefit from "catching the big picture" through the Summit Ministries' Adult Conference.

4. What materials does each student need for the UTT Curriculum?

Each student should have a copy of the Understanding the Times textbook and a Student Manual. Students will find these resources invaluable as they continue developing their worldview thinking. The manuals are consumables while the textbooks are reusable.

5. How can I place an order for the UTT Curriculum?

You can do one of the following to order your curriculum products:

  • Order online through our store

6. What is the difference between the home and Christian school versions of the UTT Curriculum?

The Christian school and home school versions of this curriculum are virtually identical with one exception. In order to make the home school version more affordable, some of the videos have been encoded in a Quicktime format and placed on a DVD-ROM instead of DVDs. DVD-ROMs will only play on a computer and not in a home DVD player. The Christian school version is thus best for a classroom setting and the home school version best for individual use.
