WHAT IS YOUR CLASSROOM LIKE?

VITAL HR PAPERWORK TO BRING TO TRAINING

You will have to submit things like your W-9 contractor form, your I-9 Citizenship Form, Complete Mandated Reporter Training, Sign your Tour of Duty and Download the Slack communications app. Click the link above when you have completed all items and then submit as soon as possible. Ideally, before training.

As a classical Christian teacher, reading will be a means of learning and a means of teaching, and a means for restoring the soul. WE WILL BEGIN WITH A STAPLE, THE 7 LAWS OF TEACHING by John Milton Gregory. THIS IS A GIFT TO YOU FROM US, but we also will be reading a new book called WHAT IS A REOFRMED BAPTIST by Tom Hicks. Our Parent EDU Groups will go through the distinctives of doctrine in the 1689 to help all families see the merits of the theological teaching standard of the school.

ATTENTION!
After a thorough review of the Lesson Plan feature within FACTS, and in thoughtful agreement between the Headmaster and Academic Dean, we've determined that the platform’s structure would likely prove more cumbersome than helpful for our faculty at this stage.

To better support your work and provide clarity and consistency, we’ve developed three easy-to-use templates:

Weekly Homework/Reading Log (1st-2nd) – for communicating assignments clearly with parents. Remember, the Academic Planner will be used for this in grades 3rd-7th.

Detailed Subject Lesson Plan – for teacher use, mapping out instruction, objectives, and assessments.

General Use Plan – a flexible option for broader weekly overviews.

These tools aim to streamline planning, strengthen parent communication, and preserve time for soul-shaping instruction.

TEMPLATE RULES:
Please use the linked templates above. Make a personal copy to your Drive and begin entering your content. Do not alter the formatting—this ensures consistency across classrooms for accreditation and evaluation. You may adjust times, subjects, and activities as needed, but please keep the colors and table layout unchanged.

To rejoice in learning is what makes up the life of the philomath. There are numerous resources from the Association of Classical and Christian Schools that we can make available to you as you grow as a classical Christian teacher. There are even degrees and certification programs as well, but PLEASE BEGIN WITH MATT WHITLING’S LECTURE CALLED CLICK HERE TO LISTEN >>>THE SINS OF THE CLASSROOM <<<. This will orient your heart toward how we biblically give our young discipuli the blessing of obedience.

Perhaps, all of you could make coming to the national ACCS conference next year a priority. It is called Repairing the Ruins.
