Synopsis
In the past few years, we have seen historic disruption to our nation’s educational ecosystem. The one-size-fits-all model of education is dead. Pockets of social activism have been exposed in government schools. Bureaucracy and unions have caused extreme levels of burnout and dissatisfaction at the expense of teachers’ well-being and job satisfaction. There is an exodus within the teaching profession, not because teachers have lost their love of teaching, but because they don’t feel equipped to teach well.
Teachers are the number one indicator of student success. They are the heartbeat of schools and the role models to our future leaders. At this two-day Making the Leap Teacher Symposium, we will discuss why Making the Leap into Christian education is a phenomenal career move. What exactly is Christian education and how is it different? What are the different types and models of Christian schools? How might Christian education be the best career move for you?
Who’s It For?
The Making the Leap Teacher Symposium is designed for current or former public school educators and administrators, teachers or administrators in their first year with a Christian school, professionals looking for a career change, and current or recent college graduates going into teaching or education leadership.
Christian schools are encouraged to send new hires to this training as a part of the onboarding process and professional development.
