Making the Leap June 2024: Teacher Symposium | Chicago, IL

Making The Leap

Teacher Training Development Series

In the past three years, we have seen more disruption to our nation’s educational ecosystem than ever. A one-size fits all model of education is dead. Pockets of social activism have been exposed. Bureaucracy and unions have caused extreme levels of burnout and dissatisfaction toward the leadership of public schools at the expense of good teachers. There is an exodus within the teaching profession, not because teachers have lost the love of teaching but because they don’t feel empowered 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 Educator 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 from non-religious teaching? What are the different types and models of Christian schools? How might Christian education be the best career move for me?

These questions and more will be explored through a powerful symposium with top-notch speakers.

Who’s It For?

The Making the Leap Educator Symposium is designed for the following constituencies:

• 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
• Current or recent college graduates going into teaching or education leadership

Christian schools are encouraged to send new hires to this training as a required part of the onboarding process.
