A FREE virtual summit for Christian educators
JOIN US FOR THESE INCREDIBLE SESSIONS!
All sessions are FREE the weekend of September 6-8, and everything is online. You simply need to reserve your spot.
Sessions revolve around three main topics:
1. RISE UP INTO KINGDOM IMPACT
Discover practical ways to make a bigger difference - shining God's love and the light of His truths into your classroom - regardless of where you teach.
2. RISE UP OUT OF FRUSTRATION
Our quest to impact our students can be quickly derailed by a sense of frustration, anxiety, or overwhelm. In these sessions, you'll learn how to overcome common frustrations and teach with joy and balance. And the result? A light that shines brighter than ever.
3. RISE UP INTO EXCELLENCE
Scripture exhorts us to work with all our heart, as unto the Lord. To that end, these sessions will provide practical strategies to make you a more effective teacher or educational leader.
