BTI Online PD | 2020

BTI is offering PLD particularly for Intermediate, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary Teachers who know there has ‘got to more than this’ to Christian Education. 

Exploration! Collaboration! Connection!

Explore how theoretical ideas about Christian education influence practice in your subject space, in your context or with your age range.

Connect your passion for Christian education with the reality of your teaching context.

The WHAT?  BTI is inviting participation in a community of learning designed to enable teachers to explore, collaborate and connect how Christian education priorities, principles and pedagogies can be woven into the reality of the educational spaces in which we teach. Facilitated by Peter Maslin, this PLD explores how Christian teachers can make curriculum choices to shape learning experiences which enable their students to “clothe the biblical worldview with visible lives” (Greene, 1998, p. 275).

The HOW?  Using the Digital Learning Platform, COLLABORATE, you will join a network of likeminded Christian teachers who are passionate about exploring how to better enable the Christian story to be lived in learning.  Before each face to face online session (FTFS), participants will be provided with an article chosen for its potential to stimulate, challenge and inspire transformative pedagogies. Between sessions (FTFB) you will explore, collaborate and connect with people and ideas as you develop transformational pedagogies.   Subsequent sessions will involve opportunity to share how you worked with the ideas and how they are influencing their teaching – and more importantly- students’ learning. 

The WHEN?

• FTFS - Once a term - late Feb, early June, early September and early November.
• FTFB - Once a fortnight, meet in self-selected interest groups

COST?  $150 +GST per teacher (for the year)

NZACS/BTI Regional PLD | 2020

Reimagining Education: Living and Learning the Biblical Story

NZACS and BTI offer PLD for teachers new to Christian Education (or those who want to refresh their vision and practice).

The WHAT? You are invited to explore the implications for teaching and learning which is contextualised within the Biblical narrative. Christian education is often understood as content (Biblical Studies) and practices (prayer, songs, and scripture reading) but at its heart it is so much more than these.  Within two face to face days (Term One and Term Three) you will explore the question, “What might teaching and learning look like when it is shaped by a biblically rooted understanding of:  God and His mission, people and their image bearing vocation and creation as the context for God’s grace?”

The HOW? This PDL is facilitated by Dr Marion Sanders through two, face to face interactive workshops in regional groups. 

The WHEN? The first of the days will be:
BOP/Waikato - Fri 13th Mar or Fri 3rd Apr
Lower North Island - Fri 15th May
South Island - Thu 2nd Apr

The second day will be in August/September.

COST? $250 +GST per teacher.
