And, we are excited to share that we will be offering Level 400. Level 400 is intended for Heads of Schools, Principals, and Instructional/Curriculum Leads. This course invites participants to foster a culture of belonging at their schools by embracing a posture of cultural humility. Participants will examine Culturally Responsive Pedagogy as a tool to prepare students to engage God’s good and diverse world. Finally, participants will examine their own cultural lenses as a crucial first step in embracing cultural differences and celebrating kingdom unity. We are confident that the learning of Level 400 will empower school leaders to create the spaces needed for practices of Teaching for Transformation to flourish as teachers and students engage God’s world both inside and outside their school.
Level 400 will be facilitated by Tia Gaines. Tia is the Executive Director of UnifiEd, an organization that provides ongoing professional development and resources for schools dedicated to a Biblical approach to Kingdom Unity. Tia help schools create communities of belonging where all students can flourish.
There is no prerequisite for participants to attend Level 400; the aim is to provide a space for Heads of Schools to join their Instructional Coaches for a shared time of collaborative leadership and learning.
