On-site and Blended Professional Development Options
Member schools receive priority consideration for teacher training seminars and professional teacher development with ACSI personnel. We recommend a blended learning(1) environment or coordination with other schools in your area to increase the sustainability and impact of training sessions. ACSI consultants will prioritize their availability for schools that work together for a regional professional development activity.
Teacher training for specific needs can also be made available to your school upon request. We can serve schools with several categories and topics for professional development.
School and Classroom Culture - with topics such as discipline and classroom management, mentoring programs and methods, trauma informed care, restorative practices, and developing a culture of belonging
Curriculum and Teaching Strategies - with topics such as collaborative teaching and learning, trauma informed care, Biblical integration strategies, supporting students with special needs, assessment strategies, engagement and motivation strategies, and lesson/unit/course planning
School Leadership and Governance - with topics such as quality teacher supervision and teacher coaching, board relations, mission alignment, curriculum development, parental engagement, distinctives of Christian school education, Christian school management, professional learning communities, strategic planning, and starting a Christian school
Student Service and Leadership Development - with topics such as developing a Student Leadership program, service learning strategies, and mentoring programs and methods
Education as an Affirmation of Identity
Here we explore one of the most pressing issues facing Christian schools today: how we understand and communicate identity and purpose. Our role as school leaders is to help students discover who they are and why they are here, according to God’s Word, and to ensure that our school culture and curriculum reflect this foundational truth.
Rediscovering the Glory of God through Education
We live in a universe crafted by the Word of God. This foundation invites us to view education not as man’s attempt to impose meaning, but as an invitation to uncover the meaning already embedded in creation—Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.
The Crisis of the Modern Self
How can we as Christian school leaders address the decaying sense of identity in our students and, even sometimes, in our faculty? Is there any help from God's Word to anchor our identity to something real instead of the culture and its fractured view of human identity?
ACSI Day of Prayer 2025
On March 4, 2025, join Christian school leaders, teachers and students around the world for a day of prayer. Resources are provided for schools to organize prayer-centered activities designed to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.
