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.
Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior
One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.
Flourishing Communities: A Restorative Approach
Restorative practices provide a framework for addressing both individual behavioral challenges and interpersonal conflict, but it is even more than that. “The restorative approach is a way of being with others, a relational approach to prevention and intervention”

March 2026 Highlights
In early March, Christian school leaders from across Europe and beyond gathered in Budapest for the International Educational Leadership Conference (IELC 2026) under the theme “On Mission, On Guard.” Over 3 days of learning, prayer, and deep conversation, participants were encouraged not only to lead well today but to endure faithfully in the long-term calling of Christian education.
