This summer Stacy Kok took the course we call Finding Joy in Learning. For her final project she wrote a series of devotionals for teachers. I am thrilled that Curriculum Track has decided to publish them as a blog series. @InsChr https://t.co/PQfQ12shxj

I want to recommend this online course to all educators! Gideon inspires such meaningful story telling that impacts one's teaching practise.

[Gideon Strauss 🇨🇦 🇿🇦 @gideonstrauss]

Join my @InsChr online course in Fall 2023 to think carefully about your life.

This is the first course Neal DeRoo will teach at @InsChr after his appointment as our new professor of philosophy!!!

[Edith van der Boom @edithvdBoom]

This is the course that many of our teachers take at the beginning of their MA journey at ICS. Gideon creates a wonderful space for reflection on one's professional practice. @gideonstrauss

[ICS @InsChr]

This Fall, learn how to do critical reflective practice by telling stories about your everyday professional life. Zoom in on the story of an ordinary day at work, and then zoom out to the stories of your career to date, your work community, + God’s world: https://t.co/GtS5Q8qlD0

[Edith van der Boom @edithvdBoom]

I am excited to teach this course again this fall!

[ICS @InsChr]

Explore crucial questions about educational leadership this Fall, including how social and cultural contexts, racial justice, Indigenous perspectives, human sexuality, and restorative practices impact and form school and classroom cultures: https://t.co/GtS5Q8qlD0

@CDLEducation @DanBeerens @epellefsen @DSpyksma @kevinhuinink I think that learning at ICS @InsChr creates space for students to look both inward and outward.

[Edith van der Boom @edithvdBoom]

@CDLEducation @DanBeerens @epellefsen @DSpyksma @justinmcook @JTHorlings In a traditional classroom curriculum is something that needs to get "done." In a deeper learning classroom curriculum serves a larger purpose.

[Edith van der Boom @edithvdBoom]

I highly recommend this course!

Some ICS students, alumni, and faculty got to connect in-person at the #CSCconference2022! With a theme of “At the Table”, we got to join in reflection and conversation about who is - and isn’t - at our community “Tables”, and how we can better welcome those who aren’t included.

I recommend this course for all K-12 educators! The driving question is "How might our relationship with Scripture influence our teaching praxis?"

[ICS @InsChr]

What is the Bible? A guidebook, a legal text, a book of poetry? In Biblical Foundations, you can explore the Bible by examining selections from across canon and reading thought-provoking secondary sources. Learn more: https://t.co/ZSjHWGKLiE

[Edith van der Boom @edithvdBoom]

I highly recommend this course to anyone in a leadership position! I took it myself in 2020 and am still reaping the benefits of what I learned!
