“Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” II Corinthians 10:5
Seeking ways and means for a more thorough training of teachers and prospective teachers in Christian principles.
“Good schoolteachers are qualified schoolteachers. They must be thoroughly trained in their field. No one can teach that of which he or she is ignorant. They must be gifted with the ability to impart knowledge to children, as well as to work with children in the rearing of them. They must be Reformed believers who live and love the covenant of grace. They must have a wide and deep knowledge of the Reformed faith as this faith is set forth in the Reformed creeds and held in the Protestant Reformed Churches. This is necessary so that they can apply the Reformed faith to all aspects of their instruction. The God of the covenant demands schools that do not merely give an education, but that give a Christian education. This is a Reformed education. “
Professor David J. Engelsma
We Need Teachers!
Teaching in our Protestant Reformed schools is a blessing and wonderful experience. There is also a great need for teachers in our Protestant Reformed schools. We hope this video can be used to help many young people to consider the important calling of becoming a teacher.
Teacher Training
In 2015, with input from various individuals, the Teacher Educational Development (TED) committee of the Federation produced A Concept Plan for a Future Protestant Reformed Teacher Training Program. A short quote from this document provides the purpose for it: “this document is designed to articulate a vision for such a program [teacher training program] and to inspire potential supporters to embrace this ideal and to acknowledge its feasibility.” This plan was presented at the annual Federation delegate meeting in October 2015 and approved in 2017.
