Christian schools spend a lot of time talking about 'best practices, ' but we often haven't fully aligned our mission with what happens in the classroom, instead modeling them off habits learned in our own experiences. . . . Steve offers a framework to help Christian schools think more clearly about instructional design and building understanding in the next generation. --Erin Hart, superintendent, Three Rivers Christian School If you are a lifelong learner, believe in mission-focused continuous improvement, and desire the Christian school to produce capable Christian leaders, read this book. . . . Be ready to reinvigorate teachers, motivate learners, and increase the school's enrollment and donor base. Implementation of these concepts may lead to innovation, transformation, tenacity, wonder, and fulfillment. --Ken Townsend, former regional director, Association of Christian Schools International Northwest 'When the key outcomes from the mission are consistently addressed in units of instruction and related performance tasks are used to gather evidence, then schools have established a strong link between what it says are the most important goals of the organization and what regularly occurs in the instructional program.' Mr. Butler encapsulates his core message in this one phrase, but you will want to read on to learn from one steeped in core knowledge and experiences as to how leaders create an environment for fruitful teaching and learning in each setting. --Marc Shelton, professor of education and dean of the College of Education, George Fox University Steve practically guides and helps unlock the most transformative values and desires that drive teachers and leaders to engage in the high call of education. Whether you are new to teaching, have been at it for years, or are leading teachers, I highly recommend this book for you and your team. --Bill Douglas, senior pastor, Yacolt Community Church
