Everyone in the world has a specific role to fill to make others' lives better. In the same way, when school staff and students use their talents and collaborate together, great things can be accomplished. But how can we teach collaboration? Jeremy shows how Jesus and others taught with collaboration, and then discusses how we can teach in the same way.

Teaching is not merely the dispensing of information; teachers fill a place of authority. How will you exercise your authority? Anthony describes common abuses of authority and reminds us that authority is a tool to serve students effectively. In order to inhabit this servanthood authority effectively, says Anthony, we must bring our own God-given talents--and weaknesses--to bear.
Student apathy can be a frustrating drag in any classroom. What might be going on beneath the surface of a student's "don't-care" attitude?For some, it might signal a fear of failure or a wrong view of education. For others, it might indicate disordered priorities and desires. Whatever the case, John Mark calls teachers to the daily work of forming students into passionate lovers of goodness and truth, of God and neighbor.Download the video or download audio onlyDon't you love a good project?

Students today have instant access to more information than previous generations could have imagined. For some, this begs a question: "Why should I bother learning it in school if I can just Google it?" John Mark challenges the skewed understanding of knowledge behind this question and calls teachers to cultivate intellectual humility—in themselves, first of all, and then in their students. Humility, he believes, is the path to true knowledge and insight in a world glutted with information.Downl
What type of teacher are you? The "Trying to Be Cool" teacher? The "Important Authority Figure"? In this light-hearted yet thought-provoking talk, Jeff Swanson caricatures some common teacher types and encourages teachers to grow toward personal and professional maturity.
How should a teacher respond when a student challenges their authority in front of the class? What should a teacher do when they realized they've handled a situation poorly? Drawing on stories from his career, Jeff demonstrates how to respond to classroom conflict with confidence, tact, and humility.
Teaching is demanding. We constantly look for ways to be efficient and reduce stress. But in all this, we need cultivate a servant heart – one that honestly asks, “What is best for each student?”
Tens of billions of brain cells work in delicate balance, giving us the ability to think, memorize, express emotions, and enjoy social interactions. We will consider how technology effects these important abilities.
This talk explores the effects of confessed and unconfessed sin on the four main characters in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter: Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, Roger Chillingworth, and Pearl Prynne. Confessed sin does not equal repentance. This session is taught from the perspective of a high school teacher.
Cramming for Bible memory is frustrating for both students and parents, and it is NOT hiding God’s word in their hearts, yet that is what a majority of our students do. This session will present several practical ways that teachers can use to help and to encourage students to memorize Scripture long-term. These methods have worked for me successfully in the classroom for ten years, and students have remembered their Scripture passages months and even years later. Grades 1-12.
Have you ever wondered why some teachers have such an easy time relating to students, and why some teachers seem to struggle with almost every interaction? We plan to tackle this head on by looking at case studies (successes and failures) of teachers that I have observed over the past 30 years. The focus will be on relating to and interacting with students of all ages on a day to day, professional, appropriate basis. Our goal will be to present practical relational strategies that are time teste
