Summer Seminar

August 1–4, 2011

Summer Seminar is designed to meet the needs of both administrators and teachers with an in-depth preservice training program in the effective use of materials and methods for their Christian schools. This seminar is of outstanding benefit to both the first-year teacher in the Christian school as well as the experienced faculty member. Our desire is to make the seminar both inspirational and informative.

Thirteen Programs

Available programs include Administration, Nursery (ages 2 and 3); K4 Kindergarten; K5 Kindergarten; Elementary Grades 1, 2, 3, or 4; Elementary Grades 5–6; Secondary Grades 7–8; Secondary Grades 9–12; Music; and Office Management. The administration program is designed to help coordinate an overall school program from the academic, spiritual, and business viewpoints. Teachers will be provided with specific methods and ideas that can be incorporated in their classrooms throughout the year.

Master’s degree students taking Summer Seminar for graduate course credit must register for the following Summer Seminar programs: Educational Administration—Administration or your choice of any of the other 12 programs; Elementary Specialization— Grades 1 or 2, Grades 3 or 4, or Grades 5–6; Secondary General Specialization— Grades 7–8 or Grades 9–12.

The office management program covers philosophy, ethics, standards, operation of your office, office procedures, accounts receivable, procedures for orientation day, cumulative records, and equipping your office.

Unique Scheduling

The seminar’s unique scheduling provides the opportunity for individual study and relaxation each afternoon. Many principals have used the free time in the afternoon to meet with their entire faculty and cover information related to the specific needs of their schools. Evening sessions are provided to challenge, inspire, and inform.

Experienced Faculty

The instructional staff at the Summer Seminar back their sessions with years of practical, on-the-job experience at Pensacola Christian Academy. Ideas and methods presented are designed to be used in any school.
