The Dock School Leader Podcast

Supporting Parents and Selling the Church


Listen Later

If parents are responsible to train their children, what are the children doing in schools? Matt Peachy lays out a case for education that places schools squarely in a position of service to the church and to families. He then outlines some of the ways that this shapes a school, particularly in its relationships with parents and the church.

Matt teaches at the secondary level and has administrative and pastoral experience. Notably, he is also a parent. Matt addresses three core questions in his talk:

  1. Who is responsible for education?
  2. Where do teachers fit?
  3. What kind of people should teachers be?
  4.  

    Outline of key sections of Matt’s presentation:

    How can we support parents?

    1. See yourself as a servant
    2. Communicate well (Assume that parents want what is best for their children)
    3. Lead your classroom
    4. How do we sell the church?

      1. Recognize your impact
      2. Promote excellence
      3. Emphasize discipleship
      4. What qualities are we looking for in teachers?

        1. Christlikeness
        2. Competency
        3. Commitment
        4.  

          For those of you who have been to Faith Builders, there are a few doses of Guys Mills sirens to stir your nostalgia.
