The goal of Teachers with a Mission is to equip and empower teachers to become agents of change. We want to provide resources and the know-how for teachers to be effective in their mission to change the world. We want to create a movement of teachers who are passionate to teach for change. Teachers who see teaching as a calling and the classroom as a platform for transformation. Jesus Christ is a good example and model of a transformational teacher. His teaching was not just to give knowledge but to see people’s lives transformed by teaching out of the overflow of His life.
“Teacher, we know you a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.” – Mark 12:14. We believe true change is both a mindset and heart issue. While many teachers are competent to teach the head very few know how to teach the heart. As Aristotle observed many centuries ago; “Educating the head without educating the heart is no education at all”.
Helping teachers learn to educate the heart in addition to the head and hands in order to foster transformation is our passion. Because teaching the heart is a spiritual undertaking, we will use Biblical and contemporary principles that address heart matters adequately.
