Moving Learning Forward in Christian Schools by Steven F. Butler Pdf
Are you ready to make changes in your Christian school? Moving Learning Forward in Christian Schools: A Practical Guide for a Mission-Focused Curriculum challenges those involved in Christian schools to consider changes to better prepare students to enter adulthood and impact the world. Readers will gain insights into: •How current brain research about how the brain learns can be put into practice in classrooms. •How Christian schools can be much more mission-focused than they currently are. •An excellent framework to shift Christian schools’ instructional programs from skills and knowledge (textbook-based) curriculum to focusing on understanding and transfer with improved curriculum, instruction, and assessment. •A perfect platform for developing better integration of biblical concepts in all subject areas. •How the six Facets of Understanding from Understanding by Design provide a vehicle to intentionally include the development of personal characteristics that are Bible based and often related to the school’s mission. •A wonderful guideline for helping Christian schools think systemically about changes needed and for developing a three-to-five-year strategic plan for improving the instructional program. This is your opportunity to consider concrete and practical ideas for school improvement!
