Embraced social and evolutionary progressivism.
Rejected external authority including Christianity.
Explicit faith in scientific method
Search for truth is not to be wasted on supernatural or revelation.
Progressive education is essentially a view of education that
emphasizes the need to learn by doing.
Interdisciplinary curriculum, or a
curriculum that focuses on
connecting multiple subjects.
A child-centered approach to
education places the emphasis
of learning on the needs and interests

 SUMMARY
What are the consistent themes we
keep coming back to?

What are the big ideas that we

need to focus on with our staff in
the pursuit of transforming
learning?
 AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE FUTURE…

 The foundation/pillars of our educational focus, based on

the guidance of E.G. White:
 Strong spiritual basis:
Creation, Redemption and Education
Personal and experiential knowledge of God
Studying the Bible, rather than the Classics
to develop the mind
Preparation for service.
 She agreed with many of the reforms of her day, however
her focus was on the harmonious development of the whole
person including “the Physical, Mental and Spiritual powers”
( E D 1 3 ) . She wrote about the benefits of Manual labor,

Physiology and Hygiene, Teaching & Learning that creates

thinkers, rather than reflectors of man’s thoughts ( E D 1 7 ) .
 AS WE LOOK TOWARD THE FUTURE…

 How do we train the next generation of thinkers, not mere

reflectors within the context of these major movements:

Common Core State Standards(CCSS)

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

STEM

Teachers that can teach the whole spectrum of

special needs to gifted students.
 COMMUNICATION WITH GOD

 “Brain nerves which communicate with the entire system are

the only medium through which heaven can communicate to
man and af fect his inmost life.” T 2 : 3 47

Our study of Neuroscience,

how the brain and the body work together to give glory to God.
