Christian schools want to equip students with a biblical worldview.

Summit helps make that happen through targeted professional development.

Site-Based Professional Development

We know that authentic professional growth doesn’t happen quickly. It takes time, focus, accountability, and persistence. That’s why Summit has developed a research-based, comprehensive year-long professional development program for Christian schools.

Our plan involves interactive remote training, monthly coaching for leadership teams, support for PLC groups, classroom observations, and on-site training. All of these are knit together in an incremental process that ensures teachers do not view biblical worldview immersion as just the latest educational fad. It becomes the very DNA of the school.

As teachers design lessons and map curriculum, they can use the standards as an overlay for their subject-specific content. This enables them to leverage subject-specific academic activities and expectations for biblical worldview formation.

We would love to start a conversation about speaking at your event or about how we can support you with a customized training, coaching, or consulting package.
