Classrooms and Assessment for Learning

This workshop/course explores the role of assessment in deeper, transformative learning and explores what types of assessments should be used in the Christian classrooms.

Description

This workshop/course explores the role of assessment in deeper, transformative learning. What are the types of assessment used in classrooms? How can they all be used for learning rather than to simply measure learning? When does assessment become feedback and how is feedback most effectively given? How can assessment be redeemed? How is assessment impacted by the gospel of the Lord Jesus.

Governance Module 12 – Leading Your Association

Christian Education National (CEN) schools are born out of a gathering of people of faith.  These groups have established schools which recognise the sovereignty of God in all aspects of individual and organisational life, including the legitimate requirements of governments.

For our schools to thrive, we need Associations of people committed to Christian education and who seek to ensure schools stay true to their vision, mission and values. Our Associations must be strong and vibrant so our school can be too.

Boards play an essential role in building, maintaining and engaging their Associations, and to being accountable to those Associations.

This course will help boards in those important tasks.
