Teaching for Transformation

What makes education Christian is not only what we teach, but why and how we teach it.

Student formation and learning sit at the heart of any educational institution. As Christian schools, learning is rooted not only in academic growth, but in our shared purpose and place within God’s story. Yet a common question remains: How does this come to life each day in our classrooms? What makes our approach to learning distinctly Christian?

Teaching for Transformation (TfT) is a comprehensive K-12 learning design framework that helps schools bring this vision to life. Created by the Prairie Centre for Christian Education and the Centre for the Advancement of Christian Schools, TfT grounds teaching and learning in God's story—See the Story. Live the Story.—helping schools shape learning that is purposeful, formative, and mission-aligned.

The Edvance team comes alongside your school as a certified coach to help you implement the TfT framework.

"TfT encapsulates all of our values as a Christian school in a way that is inspiring and coherent. It puts into words and actions what we have believed and aspired to all along, but inspires us to further excellence in pedagogy, discipling students, and professional development. Staff with more than 20 years of experience have said it is 'by far the best PD I've ever done' and 'is the PD I've always wished we'd have.' It gives us a common language to connect academic goals and faith/character goals in meaningful and organic ways—something that has often been difficult within certain high school disciplines."

-Brad Armishaw, Vice-Principal of Learning at Redeemer Christian High School
