ASK QUESTIONS
God has designed us to need other people. This is no less the case as Christian teachers. Connect is a place to ask questions and to seek the advice of others who have walked before us or have insights from a different context.
RESPOND
God has gifted us with unique gifts. He calls us to share them where we can; this includes professionally. Often we need to be encouraged towards bigger thinking. Ideas and resources don’t need to be polished for others to build upon.
COLLABORATE
The opportunity to collaborate in the context of our vocation is a rich blessing from God. Connect is the ideal place to collaborate on new ideas; brainstorm as you polish existing practice; and stimulate new thinking in Christian education.
Resource Sharing
Access a free library of Christian education resources shared by fellow Christian teachers. Share your own resources for other Christian teachers to build on.
Support teachers (and students) in schools less well resourced, or just share the good ideas that God has blessed you with; a rich way to serve others in a professional setting.
Who Are We?
CONNECT is committed and passionate about Christian education. It is a free online community established to resource Christian educators and to facilitate sharing and collaboration. The CONNECT community recognises the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all things (including education) and recognises that the Bible not only points to the gospel of Jesus but speaks to all of life (including teaching practice). CONNECT is a place to share thoughts, ideas, and resources. It’s a place to collaborate and grow in all areas of Christian education.
VISION
To CONNECT all Christian educators in an online community where they can share, collaborate, and grow.
MISSION
CONNECTing Christian educators via a free online portal that facilitates the sharing and curating of resources and facilitates collaborative professional discussion through online (email-connected) forums.
History of Connect
An online sharing community for Christian educators has been a dream within Christian Education National (CEN) schools for quite some time. In 2011, such a facility was woven into the structure of a recently formed professional association for Christian educators (Christian Educators’ Professional Association). In 2019 it was decided that the sharing and collaboration facility would be removed from the professional association and opened up to all Christian educators for free. CEN have launched CONNECT to serve in this way and offer it to all involved in Christian education and Christian schooling.
