CDL Digest - 12.2.22

One of the purposes of the Christian Deeper Learning network and our conference is the opportunity for Christian educators to come together to learn from each other. Although we have identified six models of Christian Deeper Learning efforts in schools, we also believe that one size does not fit all, so there is great value in sharing and learning from each other. The six CDL models share common characteristics (see #8 below), and good borrowing is encouraged! Here is a listing of blog posts in one spot explaining each of the models:

1. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: An Introduction

2. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: The EL Education Model

3. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: The IB Education Model

4. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: Center for Redemptive Education

5. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: Big Picture Learning

6. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: Teaching for Transformation

7. The Many Roads to Christian Deeper Learning: Project Based Learning

8. Deep Consistencies: Five Essential Steps to Christian Deeper Learning

This week we turn our attention to another one of our pre-conference offerings - an opportunity to learn from the journey of a well-established school with a long history - Abbotsford Christian. Julius Siebenga is Executive Director at Abbotsford Christian and has been instrumental in implementing a PBL (Project-Based Learning) approach there. If you would like additional background, be sure to read blog post #7 above.

Here is a special invitation from Julius, and in the second video, words of encouragement from his team!
