📰 Compelled to Teach Blog

The official CTL Blog Compelled to Teach will welcome a number of LBC faculty contributors writing about the intersections between teaching, learning, and our Christian faith.

Articles are very short form and designed to provide new ideas, encouragement, and conversation starters amidst your busy day. Look for links to each new post from the Center for Teaching & Learning Canvas group announcements throughout the semester.

📖 Faculty Reading Group

Join colleagues for 4 sessions throughout the semester discussing our reading of the book, Everyday Christian Teaching by David Smith. This book contains very brief chapters each capturing applications of biblically integrated teaching. It is both profound and practical!

Sessions will be held on select Thursday afternoons from 2:10-3:10 (1/29, 2/26, 3/26, 4/23). The first 8 faculty to sign up will receive the book for free.

Please sign up here!
