About this program
Foundational teacher development centered on teacher identity, biblical preparation, prayer, worship, spiritual discernment, creative instruction, learner adaptation, digital teaching, and practicum.
Mandated to Teach begins with the person carrying the teaching assignment. Teacher identity, character, a love for the Word, prayer, and spiritual discernment belong in that preparation. From there, the course moves into creative instruction, responsible digital delivery, lesson development, and the teaching practicum. Explore the full eight-module pathway below.
