As teachers, we are always concerned about the details of what our students learn but they also need to know why those details are important. Biblical integration is a process of seeing the big picture of Truth and always asking how those details fit into the big picture. If all truth is God's Truth, then every subject area has specific ways to help us understand God and understand His creation. This allows us to bring the details of learning together into a unified whole with meaning and beauty.

Assessment is a challenging area for many teachers, and has a significant impact on the learning experience for students.  By considering assessment in the context of the whole teaching-learning process, this course explores ideas for designing quality assessments that provide relevant feedback and engage students in learning, including student self-assessment and peer-assessment strategies. Participants will engage in the course material through practical activities as well as interaction with other course participants through discussion forums.

As a result of participating in this course teachers will..

1)     Understand assessment as a process of collecting a variety of evidence regarding student attainment of learning goals, and using that evidence to provide on-going, meaningful feedback to students.

2)     Understand the role of formative assessment, including peer and self-assessment, in the teaching-learning assessment process.

3)     Design and implement a wider variety of assessment strategies in their classroom.

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.

Both the Christian school and the secular school study the world around them, but they study it from significantly different perspectives and for significantly different purposes. This course explores those differences and helps us clearly articulate those differences in our thought processes and in our communication.

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 a selected age group.

This course is designed to help teachers develop in their understanding of a quality, Christian education and to assist them in the task of equipping students to influence their world through Biblical thought, character and action. The final objective of the course is developing a clear philosophy of Christian education.

Welcome to SLC 2022!  The ACSI Europe team is excited to welcome you back to an in-person SLC this year.  Here you will find all the info you need to help guide you through the conference, and a place to connect with other conference participants.

The International Educational Leadership Conference takes place March 3-5, 2021 as an online event and provides for developing practical cooperation among Christian school leaders from Europe and beyond. This is a unique event, somewhat different from ICEC or ISLC hosted by the International Schools Office, and provides quality interaction, training and fellowship with national Christian school leaders from 30+ countries. Our theme this year is "Strategic Initiatives for School Improvement" with with a sub-theme of "The Position of Christian schools in Modern Society" and is being planned in coordination with ECCEN.

Our 21^st annual Student Leadership Conference will focus on the theme ... This year will be the first with 2 events in consecutive weeks. Our online environment provides for increased interaction between participants at both events. We are looking forward to welcoming over 200 participants at each event. Follow-up material is available here for your students on the topic of Christian leadership.

Recent world events have shown us just how important community is, but also how fragile it can be. How can we lead in a way that strengthens the communities in which we live? Whether we are thinking about our local, national or global community, we want to be leaders who both work with others and take individual responsibility. At SLC we will be exploring the role of Biblical faith, hope and love in building authentic community, and the courage that will be needed for us to lead in this way with the theme "Leading for Community".

Welcome to ACSI Europe's online course designed especially for student leaders!  We hope this course will be a valuable tool for students from many different cultural backgrounds.  If you have participated recently in our Student Leadership Conference, we hope that this course will help you follow-up and put into practice what you learned there.  If you haven't been to SLC yet, we do hope that you will be able to join us in September or October this year!
