Are you ready to make changes in your Christian school?
Moving Learning Forward in Christian Schools: A Practical Guide for a Mission-Focused Curriculum challenges those involved in Christian schools to consider changes to better prepare students to enter adulthood and impact the world. Readers will gain insights into:
-How current brain research about how the brain learns can be put into practice in classrooms.
-How Christian schools can be much more mission-focused than they currently are.
-An excellent framework to shift Christian schools’ instructional programs from skills and knowledge (textbook-based) curriculum to focusing on understanding and transfer with improved curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
-A perfect platform for developing better integration of biblical concepts in all subject areas.
-How the six Facets of Understanding from Understanding by Design provide a vehicle to intentionally include the development of personal characteristics that are Bible based and often related to the school’s mission.
-A wonderful guideline for helping Christian schools think systemically about changes needed and for developing a three-to-five-year strategic plan for improving the instructional program.
This is your opportunity to consider concrete and practical ideas for school improvement!
