Educating for Hope offers a multi-faceted exploration of the theological foundations, system designs, and human practices that will help educators flourish in the contemporary educational landscape. This collection brings together rigorous scholarly thought and empirical research to address the most pressing issues facing the sector today.
From groundbreaking, large-scale data on school culture and collective teacher efficacy to nuanced qualitative studies on leadership pathways and educator wellbeing, these chapters give us a vision of the Gospel as the “first principle” of reality and the heart of all learning. Beyond theory, the volume provides innovative, practice-based applications such as evidence-based frameworks for sustained teacher induction and transformative models for strengths-based coaching and Christian communities of practice.
Derived from keynote and featured presentations at the International Transforming Education Conference (ITEC) and Educating for Hope research symposium in July 2024 in Perth, WA, this volume is an essential resource for leaders, practitioners, and scholars committed to the renewal of Christian education.
These voices offer a hopeful roadmap for cultivating communities where vision and vocation thrive, pointing students and educators alike toward the redemptive restoration of Christ.
