The Key to Success? Grit by Angela Lee Duckworth

2/10/2016

0 Comments

 

According to Ted, "Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasn't the only thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her theory of "grit" as a predictor of success."

Whether you are purposed by God to teach others, or if you need to role up your sleeves and learn something to activate your own Godly destiny, having "grit" is an indispensable character trait.  Not only do you need "grit" for the destiny journey that lies ahead of you, but you should also help equip and release others along the way with the raw determination to never quit.  We must develop Godly "grit" such that we are able to press through any discomfort to live our Godly destiny.

Why We Believe a Classical Education is Relevant by Classical Prep School

0 Comments

 

This video will introduce you to the underlining ideas associated with why many schools are adopting the classical liberal arts education.  This type of education is designed to teach students how to learn and how to think critically.  Additionally, we learn how free and open societies require a people with a classical education built upon a character education to be long enduring.

Christians, empowered by the Holy Spirit, have an opportunity to lead the way in reforming the educational system to be highly effective at building and maintaining strong societies.  Are you called by God to transform the world of education?  If so, then we need you to discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, Rebekah Hagstrom who is headmaster of Liberty Classical Academy (LCA), shares the value of a classical education. Rebekah received a B.S. in communication disorders (summa cum laude) and an M.A. in speech pathology from the University of Minnesota. She and her husband, Peter, have four children. Rebekah worked at Regions Hospital as a speech pathologist for over 10 years. She also taught adult education classes at her church, served on its board, and spoke at various women's ministry events.

In raising their children, Peter and Rebekah experienced public education, private college prep schools, and private religious schools. With these schools falling short of their educational expectations, Rebekah founded Liberty Classical Academy.


Please kindly notice, that Rebekah saw a need and acted as salt and light.  As such, she is living in her Godly destiny and is pioneering the value of a classical education and exploring its benefits in producing citizens who know history, understand logic, are well rounded, and can speak and debate respectfully.

We pray that this information will help you accomplish great things in the educational industry as you discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, 2Revolutions explains the current state of our educational system and offers a new way of thinking about how to help young people embrace a lifetime of learning by "learning how to learn."  They suggest five ideas for integration into future learning models.  They include:
  • Personalization - fit to each learner.
  • Learner-Driven - to let kids own their learning.
  • Application - to let kids learn by doing.
  • Cost Effective - to be feasible at scale.
  • Tech-Enabled - to leverage technologies that work.

As Christians, we are called to be salt and light.  That is to say, as those with a destiny to positively transform the world of education arise and shine, the world will experience an aspect of the love of Christ.  If your destiny includes affecting the educational industry, then we pray that your discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.
