I have a teacher who everyone in the class loves, however, it's a well known fact that she's not a Christian, and doesn't think too highly of my faith. What's the best way to make her get saved without getting in trouble from the atheist administrators at my school (which is public)?

Shut up and get over it. It doesn't matter that she's not christian. Big freaking deal. Half the people you'll encounter in your life won't be and you'll have to deal with it. So learn now.

You can not MAKE anyone get saved. You are walking in dangerous territory, especially while you have to take classes from them. If she doesn' t think too highly of your faith then she most likely knows your position. The best way to share your faith is to live it and show others by your lifestyle.

First of all, it is not your right, or your privilege or place to 'save' anyone. What makes you so arrogant to believe that she needs you to save her from anything? Perhaps this is why she finds you so annoying. How do you presume to know what God's will is, no one but the Father knows what the future holds for each one of us. Practice a little Christian charity and back off. Respecting other people's rights is a fundamental part of being a true Christian, it is not for us to judge.

If she has already made it known she is not favorably leaning toward your faith do not say anything. She will build that much more of a resistance. Just let it go and pray for her. Many times the Lord will use someone else who you would least expect to get through.

I have had the same experience.
What I found out is that I cannot preach without example, so you should be attentive to the way you behave. The second thing to do is pray, pray, pray, pray and pray!!!!
Little by little, it becomes quite obvious you have "a thing" that is worthy. If you ever have a chance to talk to her outside the class, listen and see if you can relate her experiences with the Word. And don't worry, if you are with Jesus, the Holy Spirit always helps you out in these situations!
GBU!!

Maybe you should pray for her and if she brings up the subject of religon such as a history teacher talking about religion in a context of that, you should ask her sometime what she thinks about what happens when she dies. Live the Christian life. And it's nice that you're worried about your teacher :), maybe if you told her that you were telling her this because you care she wouldn't feel offended and might even like it perhaps

As a student, you have no authority to evangelize and proselytize your teachers. I'd take the previous answerer's suggestion... shut up and get over it. If it's a well-known fact that she's not a Christian, she's probably not a Christian for a reason.
Keep your religion to yourself, and everyone will be happy.

although we would love to have everyone that we care for to go to heaven, the truth is that it is a personal choice. and your teacher has made hers.
she probably already know that she is not a christian and is comfortable with that.
one of the girls in my youth group gave her teacher a christian tract, and got suspended for 2 weeks.
if you really want to know, you might tell her that she is such a nice person, you were wondering of she was a Christian.
you should not get into trouble, and that will open the door to find out where she stands.

Saved by what? Saved by whom? Tell her, because she will laugh. Not being saved is not threatening to one who does not subscribe to your religious doctrine. Be a good person; if for you, being a good person means following a christian doctrine, follow it. Let your teacher follow her own definition of being a good person. This is obviously not the bible. The last thing your teacher needs is a student disrespecting her personal morals and values. Teaching is a very important position. Society doesn't appreciate teachers enough. For probably not enough of a stipend, your teacher is dedicated to helping students to learn and develop. Don't undermine this effort by being closed minded to her good work.

Her faith is her business. She made her choice to be whatever she is - so did you. If you are so concerned about your teacher's business switch to a private school. Rather than saving people you should concentrate more on tolerance of people who have different beliefs than you.
