Book Synopsis Christian School Insights by : Dennis Demuth
Download or read book Christian School Insights written by Dennis Demuth and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merriam-Webster defines "insight" as "the power or act of seeing into a situation." Throughout the Gospels, Jesus provided insight to his disciples, whether it was explaining the meaning of a parable, sharing events that were about to happen, or providing the understanding of a specific cause and effect in a specific context. All of us at one time or another will face situations when we need to recognize what is happening, and what to do next. Knowing that others have gone through the same situation and have succeeded is an inspiration to motivate our own success story. We trust that the insights that we share will provide motivation for success in your own life, in your classroom, and school. We can all learn from one another. "Although we all should learn from our experiences, both good and bad, there's no good reason to keep reinventing the wheel. Rather than learning from your own experiences, it is far more efficient to learn from someone else's. Although experience may be a good teacher, someone else's experience is a far better teacher. Many other people have been down the route you are traveling. Although it may not be the exact same path, they have encountered and solved many of the same problems you may be facing. By using their experiences as a starting point, you accelerate your progress" (Brian Golden, "Learn from the Experiences of Others").The Insights contained in this single volume reflect situations faced at Victory Christian School. Each presentation followed prayer and listening to what the Spirit of God wanted to share with the staff. Many topics were created as a series and were resented over several weeks. Christian School Insights may be read as a devotional. There are 18-20 Insights per chapter which is enough for two per month during the school year. There is a total of 112 Insights. A comprehensive index can be used to look up topics that may be of interest for Christian educators who are dealing with the similar concerns.

Download or read book Mindful Education written by Charlene Tan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides original ideas and practical recommendations for educators in a post-pandemic world. We live in a world that has been upended by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students around the globe have been besieged by disruptions that threaten not only their academic learning but also their mental, emotional, and interpersonal well-being. In the midst of pressing and mounting challenges, how can schools ensure the total wellness of all their students? Beyond reactive, piecemeal, and short-term measures, how can schools enact mindful education that pays attention to wholeness in every student? Extending the current research on well-being and mindfulness, this book draws insights from Confucian and Christian traditions. These two traditions have been selected as they are widely seen to represent, and have impacted, Eastern and Western civilisations respectively for millennia. Informed and inspired by Confucian and Christian perspectives, this book proposes that mindfulness is an orientation towards wholeness, where one experiences he (harmony) and shalom (peace). Mindful education is realised through: A school community of ren (humanity) and agape (love); A transforming curriculum that centres on dao (way) and imago dei (god’s image); Empathic teachers who are motivated by shu (putting oneself in the other’s place) and the Golden Rule (do to others as you would have them do to you); and Self-directed learners who develop themselves through xiuji (self-cultivation) and spiritual disciplines. Applying ancient wisdom to contemporary settings, this book on promoting student well-being through mindful education is a useful resource for policymakers, educators, researchers, and general readers.
Book Synopsis The Case for Classical Christian Education by : Douglas Wilson
Download or read book The Case for Classical Christian Education written by Douglas Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2002-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newspapers are filled with stories about poorly educated children, ineffective teachers, and cash-strapped school districts. In this greatly expanded treatment of a topic he first dealt with in Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning, Douglas Wilson proposes an alternative to government-operated school by advocating a return to classical Christian education with its discipline, hard work, and learning geared to child development stages. As an educator, Wilson is well-equipped to diagnose the cause of America's deteriorating school system and to propose remedies for those committed to their children's best interests in education. He maintains that education is essentially religious because it deals with the basic questions about life that require spiritual answers-reading and writing are simply the tools. Offering a review of classical education and the history of this movement, Wilson also reflects on his own involvement in the process of creating educational institutions that embrace that style of learning. He details elements needed in a useful curriculum, including a list of literary classics. Readers will see that classical education offers the best opportunity for academic achievement, character growth, and spiritual education, and that such quality cannot be duplicated in a religiously-neutral environment.
Download or read book Teaching Well written by Ken Goodlet and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication appears self-consciously and deliberately within the lineage of recent Australian publications in Christian education. For a long time there has been a dearth of such material. This collection seeks to complement fine work done by others in recent years. Our aim has been to bring together the work of some of the major thinkers in Christian education in academic circles in Australia, the UK and North America, with the writings of some leading and experienced Australian practitioners in the field of Christian education. While we have adopted an editorial format and style, we have not sought to conform the various voices to a particular viewpoint, provided they remain robustly evangelical in outlook. The authors therefore speak for themselves, and not always in unison, although certainly with a strong commonality of viewpoint. The book seeks to make a contribution to the field. We hope it will be useful to those who wish to develop their own philosophy of education, and to practitioners in the classroom. Indeed, we would argue that a robust philosophy of Christian education is a precursor to fully fledged practice.

Book Synopsis Humanizing the Education Machine by : Rex Miller
Download or read book Humanizing the Education Machine written by Rex Miller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear roadmap for the new territory of education Education in the U.S. has been under fire for quite some time, and for good reason. The numbers alone tell a very disconcerting story: according to various polls, 70% of teachers are disengaged. Add to that the fact that the United States ranks last among industrialized nations for college graduation levels, and it's evident there's a huge problem that needs to be addressed. Yet the current education system and its school buildings—with teachers standing in front of classrooms and lecturing to students—have gone largely unchanged since the 19th century. Humanizing the Education Machine tackles this tough issue head-on. It describes how the education system has become ineffective by not adapting to fit students' needs, learning styles, perspectives, and lives at home. This book explains how schools can evolve to engage students and involve parents. It serves to spread hope for reform and equip parents, educators, administrators, and communities to: Analyze the pitfalls of the current U.S. education system Intelligently argue the need to reform the current landscape of education Work to make a difference in the public education system Be an informed advocate for your child or local school system If you're a concerned parent or professional looking for a trusted resource on the need for education reform, look no further than Humanizing the Education Machine. This illuminating resource provides the information you need to become a full partner in the new human-centered learning revolution.

Book Synopsis With Christ in the School of Prayer by : Andrew Murray
Download or read book With Christ in the School of Prayer written by Andrew Murray and published by Aneko Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written with a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood. I feel sure that as long as we look on prayer solely as the means of maintaining our own Christian life, we shall not know fully what it is meant to be. But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us, the root and strength of all other work, we shall see that we need nothing more than to study and practice the art of praying. If I have succeeded in pointing out the progressive teaching of our Lord in regard to prayer, and the distinct reference of His wonderful promises of His last night to the works we are to do in His name – to the greater works and the bearing of much fruit – we shall all admit that only when the church gives herself up to this holy work of intercession can she expect the power of Christ to manifest itself on her behalf. I pray that God will use this book to explain to some of His children the wonderful place of power and influence that He is waiting for them to occupy and that a weary world is waiting for too. - Andrew Murray

Book Synopsis Latin American Journey by : Robert W. Pazmiño
Download or read book Latin American Journey written by Robert W. Pazmiño and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-09-02 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Journey demonstrates in a unique way how personal and social narrative can illuminate the biblical story. Robert Pazmino's experiences in a South American base community and the barrios of Costa Rica are here translated into fresh and vital proposals for Christian education in North America. Showing the way between fundamentalism of both the right and left, the author brings into creative partnership an often polarized orthodoxy and 'orthopraxy'. A valuable resource for religious educators, pastors, and seminary students." - Gabriel Fackre Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Andover Newton Theological School Pazmino has shown significant creativity in bringing the insights of liberation theology to bear on the discipline of religious education. He has done this in a manner that is directly relevant to a North American audience, and not merely to those curious about Latin American liberation theology. He writes clearly and succinctly, and his book could be valuable in courses on religious education in seminars and colleges. It is a must for curriculum planners and writers, as well as for directors of Christian education in local churches." - Justo L. Gonzalez Director, Hispanic Summer Program The Fund for Theological Education, Inc.
Download or read book Clear Focus written by Stephen G. Reel and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clear Focus . . . ... is primarily for Christian school educators, but I believe this is a must-read for every single Christian. I was both convicted and challenged in my everyday walk with the Lord. Dr. Glen Schultz, Author of Kingdom Education ... helps us to refocus on “who” so that the tyranny of “what” does not rob us of the joy of ministry. This is a must-read for anyone ministering in Christian schooling. Dr. Daniel Egeler, President of the Association of Christian Schools International Clear Focus encourages and equips Christian educators to regain vision, purpose, and fulfillment in ministry. With a passion for discipleship, Stephen shares rich insights through compelling stories and biblical applications. He also draws on his experience from two tours of duty in the United States Marine Corps. In a world full of distractions, maintaining focus can be difficult if not impossible. When we focus intently on “who,” we begin to escape the tyranny of “what,” which steals the joy from our lives and service. Jesus perfectly modeled this for us. Follow Him through any day of His ministry, and you will see His focus is always on a who. Ours should be too.

Book Synopsis Christian Faith, Formation and Education by : Ros Stuart-Buttle
Download or read book Christian Faith, Formation and Education written by Ros Stuart-Buttle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the relationship between faith, formation and education. Rooted in a variety of discourses, the book offers original insights into the education and formation of the human person, both theoretical and practical. Issues are considered within a context of contemporary tensions generated by an increasingly pluralist society with antipathy to religious faith, and debated from interdenominational Christian perspectives. Including chapters by an international team of experts, the volume demonstrates how Christian faith holds significance for educational practice and human development. It argues against the common assumption that there can be a neutral approach to education, whilst at the same time advocating a critical dimension to faith education. It brings fresh thinking about faith and formation, which demands attention given the fast-changing political, educational and socio-cultural forces of today. It will appeal to students and researchers involved in Christian educational practice.

Book Synopsis Principles and Practices of Christian Education by : Robert W. Pazmiño
Download or read book Principles and Practices of Christian Education written by Robert W. Pazmiño and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-04-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles and Practices of Christian Education shows teachers how they can use two important principles that stand behind all evangelical practices to make their education program stand out from all the others in its nurture of students. First, evangelical Christian education recognizes the need for conversion-personal and corporate transformation that reconnects people to their Creator. Second, evangelical Christian education strives for connection-making contact with people as unique individuals who live in a particular society and who need to know more about scripture. In this book Christian education students learn that the work for which they prepare is a partnership with God to transform people. Their central task is worship, but through it and other activities they lead others to faith, commitment, and transformation of communities.
