What is Ponderings of a PDE?
Ponderings of a PDE (Purpose Driven Educator), is a blog for uncommon Christian educators who recognize their lives are not their own, they belong to God and are to live according to the purpose He has ordained. As PDEs, we bring transformative change in the lives of our students, parents, staff, and stakeholders, by living a life that brings glory to God. Each post seeks to ignite thought and positive change, for the advantage of those around us.
My name’s Crystal and I live in sunny South Florida with my husband and dog, Sunshine. I left the classroom in 2018, after 7 years of teaching elementary education. As I prepare to come back, I am looking forward to learning how to depend on God for each student. I love the outdoors and writing. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
