Comments from SLC 2012
- I was encouraged that I was prayed for and remembered. I was reminded to have grace towards others and build them up, to step forward to help the weak and not compromise.
- I was SO inspired to exercise greater leadership for Christ in my school and community. I plan to incorporate the lessons learned into my daily life including encouraging, influencing, and discipling others.
- At this conference I was amazed how God showed me that I am capable of influencing others in a positive way.
- I was so convicted by Mr. Rudolph's talk on prayer. I have struggled with prayer so much in the past. After the talk, praying felt natural and more real. This is an amazing gift.
- I am greatly inspired to be an example and leader in my school by showing God's grace and love to my classmates and just everyone around me.
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.
