You’ve heard about coaching, and you want to explore getting coaching. Good. Start your exploration by watching this 1-minute video.




Does coaching help people pursue God’s calling? Yes.

• As a result of getting coaching, I’ve clarified my ministry, better balanced home and work, and more effectively led change.
• Those I coach consistently testify that coaching helps them achieve their goals.
• And research indicates that coaching, for example, increases training impact by 300%.

To further explore coaching, focus on 4 questions:

1. What is coaching?
2. In coaching, who does what?
3. What could you work on with a coach?
4. Are you ready for coaching? (Download, print, and complete this self-assessment.)

Review: You’ve explored getting coaching by thinking about what coaching is, what the client and coach are responsible for, what you can work on with a coach, and how ready you are to be coached.

The challenge: At Christian schools, we want our students to develop a Christ-centered worldview, to see all of life through the lens of Scripture, to learn about God and His creation. This is a big challenge! One way we address this challenge is by having our students connect what they study with Biblical teaching.

Where can you get some help with this challenge?]]>learnmore@closethegapnow.orgChristian Ed Training2008-05-27T08:44:52+09:00http://closethegapnow.org/training/tutorials/files/msln.html#unique-entry-id-4http://closethegapnow.org/training/tutorials/files/msln.html#unique-entry-id-4You’re sitting in your classroom thinking: “How can I help them get this? I’m supposed to teach them a Biblical perspective. Maybe I should talk with Tom. Michele mentioned a good book and a workshop next month. I wonder if we should work as a department to develop some curriculum for this. What would be the best thing to do?”
 
Stop. Don’t start by talking to a colleague. Don’t start by a reading book or attending a workshop. Don’t start by writing curriculum. These are solutions.

Instead, DEAL with your students' learning needs.]]>learnmore@closethegapnow.orgChristian Ed Training2008-05-26T15:22:58+09:00http://closethegapnow.org/training/tutorials/files/ceiwe.html#unique-entry-id-3http://closethegapnow.org/training/tutorials/files/ceiwe.html#unique-entry-id-3Christian education involves worldview education, education that helps students develop and apply a Christian worldview.
