Teaching in the Form of Christ: How to Teach Anything to Anybody – Andrew Kern

Summary


When you finish this session you will know the pattern that enables you to teach anything to anybody at any time as long as teacher and learner are ready. Kern claims that the Bible follows a simple teaching pattern from beginning to end, that our Lord Jesus followed the same pattern, and that the creation itself is always teaching us the same way. At the heart of this powerful approach you find image and story. While the pattern is not always easy, it is always simple. This session will show you how to apply it to your classroom instruction, no matter what grade. Includes suggested resources.


 

Classical Christian Education Explained: Panel Discussion with Kevin Clark, Douglas Wilson, Ravi Jain & Christopher Schlect

Summary


Classical Christian education believes that it is just as important to train the heart and the habits as it is to train the head and mind. It teaches students not what to think but how to think. In a world of fragmented knowledge, it treats education as a wholistic endeavor.
