SUPPORTING CHRISTIANS IN EDUCATION

Useful resource for engaging with schools – and with Education Sunday coming up in January has some good ideas for involvement.Author: Trevor Cooling with Mark Greene (LICC , September 2008)
The blurb reads:
Supporting Christians in Education is a practical tool for Church Leaders and Youthworkers to help them to envision and resource teachers, pupils, parents and governors. No other single context involves so many of us, and this highly readable but insightful book lays out a compelling vision for Christian involvement and mission in education.
The book:
• Explains the values driving education today, summarises the pressures teachers face, and explores the curriculum from a Christian perspective.
• Explores the opportunities that today’s religious diversity provides.
• Includes a large number of down-to-earth ideas on how church leaders and their communities can practically support teachers, pupils and parents.
