Interactive workshops are provided periodically by ACSI staff for teachers in various regions and language groups. These enable teachers to learn and collaborate on the application of a biblical worldview to their curricular content and teaching practice. We explore themes in God’s story and the academic subjects and provide insight into how God’s Word and His world should guide the learning process.

Participating on a team that uses the CSIP self-assessment process challenges each team member to evaluate the current needs and strengths of their school. As we learn to identify the key values and practices of Christian education, we are better able to discuss these values, implement these values 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 to advance His kingdom.

This document is an outcome of the Flourishing Schools Model (in the USA) to support schools in asking questions, leading conversations with the school community and integrating a robust understanding of biblical worldview in the mission, professional development activities, relationships and learning activities of their school. This document may need to be contextualized for each school culture but provides a very helpful structure for the process of understanding what is meant by biblical worldview in the context of education.

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.

Using questions in our classrooms can lead to significant improvement in student learning and retention and also help students develop a biblical lens for learning and life. Why should I use questions in teaching? Which types of questions are most effective? How do questions promote a biblical approach to learning? How do I engage my students in a quality process of asking good questions? This course provides a platform for questioning our motivation in using questions, investigating resources to improve our use of questions, connecting our use of questions to clear curricular objectives, and applying what we learn through new instructional strategies.

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.

How can we engage in meaningful connections between schools, students and teachers without adding additional tasks to our full schedule? The connections are more meaningful when we facilitate and encourage peer-learning (at both teacher and student levels) that meets the global awareness and academic goals of our schools. Why not benefit from the passion and educational perspectives of Christian teachers in one of the accredited ACSI schools in Nigeria, or Christian teachers in the Netherlands who are building relationships with partner schools in many countries, or the fast growing Christian schools in Romania? All of this can be done in English between teachers learning together online and then your students collaborate on meaningful projects that meet the goals of your curriculum!

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.

The time is ripe across Europe for teachers in Christian schools to confront the spirit of secularism, so rampant in Western culture, with a gospel-based, Christ-centered message. At stake are the hearts and minds of all students in our schools that God has put in our care. Will teachers be ready to offer students another way to see themselves as belonging to Christ as his agents rather than the agents of secularism? Will our schools be places that engage students to exhibit God’s image- not merely to "fill up" with information - in all their learning? This book is dedicated to equipping teachers to take up their calling not only to be Christians, but also to teach as Christians before their students.
