TENTMAKERS Educators on Mission
Equipping & Empowering Public School Educators to Transform Schools With God’s Love & Truth
Let’s face it, every year, sometimes everyday, educating our children, especially in public schools, continues to become more and more difficult. The requirements on our time, what to teach, how to teach, discipline issues, lack of support, technology distractions, family dynamics, mental health and so many more issues that educators face make it the 2nd highest burnout rate profession in our country. Christian educators in our public schools carry a double load and are many times so busy trying to survive they many times have difficulty in figuring out how they can have an impact for the Lord in their classroom. But having Christians in the public schools is crucially important to those students and other staff who don’t see His light on a daily basis. TENTMAKERS wants to help teachers not just survive, but thrive in living out their faith in the classroom.
At the TENTMAKERS Educators on Mission participants will:
