The role of a Christian teacher as a shepherd is needed to promote intellectual humility early to the students. This study aims to dig deeper the causes of intellectual arrogance among students as well as the role of a Christian teacher as a shepherd in guiding the students toward the humble path. The concept of shepherd is used repeatedly by Jesus Christ in the Bible, who identified Himself as the Good Shepherd that would find and save the lost lamb. Thus, the ways in which teachers approach the students should reflect and centered on Christ. As a shepherd in the classroom, the teacher should implement concrete teaching approach, such as caring, encouraging, and guiding. The method used is qualitative descriptive and the data is taken from the writer’s practicum portfolio. The result shows that students who showed intellectual arrogance attitude are affected internally and externally, yet it is possible for the teacher to carry the role as a shepherd to promote intellectual humility through several kinds of strategies. The writer suggests future researchers to observe the variety of intellectual arrogance in the classroom, implement the given strategies, and to discover more approach to promote intellectual humility.
