Course offering - Using Questions for Better Learning
This is a new course available for participants in February 2020.
Course Summary:
Using questions in our classrooms can lead to significant improvement in student learning and retention and also help students develop a biblical lens for learning and life. Why should I use questions in teaching? Which types of questions are most effective? How do questions promote a biblical approach to learning? How do I engage my students in a quality process of asking good questions? This course provides a platform for questioning our motivation in using questions, investigating resources to improve our use of questions, connecting our use of questions to clear curricular objectives, and applying what we learn through new instructional strategies.

Poetry Contest Winners 2026

2026 school year in review - Thank You
As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?
The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.
Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence
There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?
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.
