Summaries can be provided for each language group. If an entry is empty, it will not show as an option for that language.

It is important for every school leader to ask this question: Is the culture and environment of our school an asset or a detriment to the well-being of the teachers who serve our Christ-centered mission? This article helps school leaders ask the right questions to establish a culture of teacher well-being.

Engaging in the process of self-assessment using CSIP
Being part of a team using the CSIP self-assessment process challenges each member of the team to assess the current needs and strengths of their school. As we learn to identify key values and practices of Christian education, we are better able to discuss these values, act on them, and strengthen a culture of shared growth and learning. The ultimate goal is to steward the gifts God has given our school community to serve others and advance His kingdom.

MEDITATIONS FOR TEACHERS - Reflections for Christian Teachers About Their Work
Meditations for Teachers is written as a companion volume to First the Foundation! A Primer for Christian School Education. These meditations serve as illustrations of how to implement the basic biblical understandings of Christian school education that First the Foundations addresses. So what appears as theory and perspective in First the Foundations is given a practical and devotional bent in these meditations. Meditations for Teachers can also stand alone as a devotional text. The sixty meditations are organized around the four themes of teacher, student, classroom practice, and school mission. Taken together the fifteen devotionals around each theme do present a perspective for understanding these four areas as a Christian teacher.
God’s Unfolding Story
This course explores the unified and unfolding nature of the biblical narrative through its significant events, characters and themes. Participants will read selected portions of Scripture, and consider how they fit together as a whole. This will be supported by readings from a succinct and carefully designed text as well as summary videos, and interaction with other participants in an asynchronous online learning environment. The course concludes with an opportunity for students to summarize and clarify their learning through designing a presentation that could be used to share the narrative with students of the age group they interact with the most in their school.

The Essence of Christian Teaching: A Concise School Pedagogy ( A joint publication by Driestar Christian University and ACSI Europe)
What are the characteristics of a Christian teacher? This book is centered around this question. Based on the Bible, The Essence of Christian Teaching provides guidelines for the everyday educational practice at any place in the world. The ideal image portrayed in this book seeks to depict the teacher’s actions in the classroom in the best way possible. However, the book is not a blueprint or a program, but should be read as an inviting prospect. Christian educators from England, South-Africa, Hungary and the USA have given comments on this international version which have been incorporated into the book.

Impact of the Christian Worldview on Teaching

Your needs and strengths always connect to the needs and strengths of partners in Christian education from the wider community. Please review the current list of services available to meet the goals of schools in your language, region or area of targeted growth.
Based on your strategic goals, select the professional services available from ACSI and our partners which best help your school meet those goals. You may also add and edit the services which you host or in which you participate.
Services are regularly being added to the system as we develop partnerships with other service organizations. Services can be listed by Standard number and by language group. The default language for services is English until services are available in your selected language group. One additional language group can be added to the listed services for your convenience.
Showing the details of a professional service will bring up the description of the service with the text of its related indicators. You are also able to connect any service to a strategic goal which will help you remember which services you have identified for addressing these goals.
You also have the option to “request a service”, which will notify ACSI of a particular need and initiate a process of identifying how to serve you, either through the ACSI office or one of our partner organizations.
Your “connected services” refers to those services which you have already connected to your strategic goals. “Services we offer” is a listing of the services your school is currently offering to other schools in your region or language group. Member schools are able to add 2 services to this listing each year to promote collaboration and partnership between schools. We provide a Service Development Worksheet to help you think through this process with your leadership team before posting your services here.
