Business Administrators' Roundtable
Each fall the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools (SBACS) hosts a 2 ½ day roundtable for Christian school Business Administrators or heads.. This group gathers together to discuss new ideas, new laws, best business practices, as well as the challenges and successes at their schools.
College Placement Roundtable
Each year when the stress of college applications is beginning to lift (January or February), the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools (SBACS) hosts a roundtable that is designed for Christian school Guidance Counselors, upper school leaders and heads. This two day roundtable is led by Dr. Ron Moss and is sure to give your school’s Guidance Counselor new ideas on how to increase the effectiveness of your college placement program. If your school includes upper school students or is adding upper grades, this roundtable is a must to attend. Participants will leave with several department-changing ideas to dramatically improve your school's placement success and student scholarship awards.
Building a Kingdom Teacher Workshop
“Essentially, learning means a change in your thinking, a change in your feeling, a change in your behavior. Learning means that change takes place in the mind, in the emotions, and in the will.” Howard. G. Hendricks.
Teachers will be presented with the five Core Values of a Kingdom Teacher.
A Kingdom Teacher:
1. Leads a God-honoring personal life.
2. Grows as a professional Christian educator.
3. Develops positive student relationships.
4. Masters the art of classroom instruction.
5. Honors the role of the parent.
Those attending will write personal responses to each of the five Core Values and evaluate their proficiency based on the 25 distinctives of a Kingdom Teacher. The end result will be a personalized MAPit© Summary (professional goal setting chart).
