About the Speaker

Linda Kardamis taught middle school math before being led to become the founder of Teach 4 the Heart - a website centered on providing practical advice, encouragement, and support for Christian teachers. As part of her calling to uplift educators everywhere, Linda is the creator of online courses such as Classroom Management 101 and Hope Renewed, and her Teach 4 the Heart podcast is enjoyed by a growing number of educators. She has written three books: Create Your Dream Classroom, Take Heart & Teach, and Teach Uplifted.

All of Linda's work and programs focus on her faith-based passion and calling to help teachers across the country and around the globe excel and thrive in their teaching adventures and careers. Linda is also a wife and mom of four littles, which, of course, keeps things interesting.

Gracelyn University

Gracelyn University prepares educators to lead with purpose. Most educators who want to go further never do, and it is almost never for lack of ability. It is cost, time, and a system that assumes you can stop working.

Gracelyn University was built the other way around. We are a fully online, DEAC-accredited university offering associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees for educators, taught from a biblical worldview and delivered in eight-week sessions you can carry alongside a full teaching load. Scholarship pricing is $44 per credit hour. No entrance exam. No application fee. Books included.

Ninety-seven percent of our students say they would choose Gracelyn again.

Every student works with a Success Coach, an experienced educator whose job is to help you find the right next step, even if that step is not with us.
