Conferences and Events
The ACSI Europe office hosts events for Christian school leaders and teachers in our region. The International Educational Leadership Conference takes place every 2 years while regional school leadership events are available in the opposing years.
Conferences for school leaders highlight themes such as “Implementing a Christian Philosophy of Education”, “Leading from the Heart”, and “Developing Professional Learning Communities”. Teacher conference themes and workshop topics may include “Strategies for Biblical Integration”, “Teaching to Heart and Mind”, “21st Century Skills in the Christian School” and many more.
A Student Leadership Conference is also available for all member schools and the International ACSI schools and addresses concepts of Christian leadership for about 400 participants from 15 countries each year.
Events
Strengthening Critical Thinking
Christian schools are often intentional about teaching worldview and preparing students to engage with competing ideas. Yet the way we structure this engagement can either nurture deep critical thinking or unintentionally foster shallow habits of argument. Here are some practical tools to support critial thinking in the classroom.
Education as a Restoration of Hope
Today we turn to the good news: God’s plan of restoration through Christ. This is not only a personal hope but also a framework for how we think about education, leadership, and the shaping of society. How can we build meaningful outcomes into the process of teaching and learning which truly reflect the hope we have in Christ?
Recognizing the Problem of Sin
The foundational, yet often overlooked, reality is the way sin impacts both teaching and learning. As school leaders, we cannot view education merely as the transfer of knowledge or the development of skills. Education is always moral and spiritual, shaped either by truth that comes from God or by distortions introduced by sin.
