Case Study: As I have mentioned, of those of us who have been in education any length of time we have likely seen at least one pendulum swing. A pendulum swing is the wider and more overarching changes that take place in education. Examples include phonics only instruction, balanced literacy, collaborative learning, No Child Left Behind, etc. These examples are not simply isolated but tend to change the face (so to speak) of education within that time.

These are often MAJOR educational changes that go from one extreme to another. I heard a saying once that if you don't like the current state of education not to worry it will swing back the other way eventually. The real question becomes how do WE deal with these swings. For some, it is with reluctance. Let's face it change is hard (even for those who tend to embrace change). It requires that we examine how we currently do things and adapt to what is often the unknown and the "uncomfortable". For others, these swings are met with enthusiasm. It is often seen as a time for creativity and passion.

When we examine pendulum swings from a Christian worldview, while the Bible does not use the actual term pendulum, change and the need for change is addressed throughout. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven". This tells us that change is evitable. But while change is just a part of life Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us of the steadfastness of the Lord, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness".
