We are thrilled to share with you that there will be a second Christian Deeper Learning conference - this time in Frisco, Texas on March 6, 7, and 8, 2019! 

We are so excited to announce that Ron Berger, Chief Academic Officer and visionary leader of EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning), will be one of our keynote speakers. More info about Ron and the books he has authored can be found here. We will have a pre-conference on the 6th and then the full conference on the 7th and 8th.

Our location this year will be convenient to access through either the DFW (Dallas Ft. Worth) or Love Field (Southwest) airports. Our host school, Legacy Christian Academy has beautiful facilities and the staff there is very excited to host us. There are many hotels and restaurants located nearby. And, although we cannot promise, it is unlikely that Dallas will have snow that time of the year!

You can see more information at our website and we will continue to update that information as it becomes available. We will again have early bird registration so watch for that. If you know an organization that may be willing to provide sponsorship, we would be grateful to have you send us their name and contact info.

We need to get the word out about this event, so please consider passing this information on to others in your network who might be interested.

What's new at Curriculum Trak

• We continue to enjoy rapid growth - we are nearing 700 schools using Curriculum Trak across 29 countries in the world!
• This year we will be doing three regional conferences to support our client schools and to introduce Curriculum Trak to interested schools. Look for us in the following places: Chicago - August 7 and 8 at Elmhurst CRC in Elmhurst, Maryland - November 8 and 9 at Annapolis Christian School, and Arizona - February 21 and 22 at Gilbert Christian School in Phoenix. We previously did a conference in Orlando in April. Additionally, I am doing two introductory workshop days on Curriculum Trak in Oklahoma City, OK on November 6 and Frisco, Texas on November 8.
• The Faith-Learning Integration content has been very popular with our faith based schools and we are excited to announce that 10 additional areas will be added to our original 10 discipline areas! Below is an image of the 20 areas - click here for a clearer copy! Below the Concepts listing graphic is a guide that would be handy for teachers to use when implementing the concepts in their unit planning - "Where Do I Start?" Click here for a clearer copy!
• Our Lesson Planner is very popular with schools as well because teachers find it easy to use. It is also very helpful for them to have their work with standards alignment pulled right into the Lesson Planner along with their attachments. We are pleased to add a new enhancements for elementary teachers that make it easier to set up an elementary "blocked out" weekly schedule - you can read more about it in our blog posting.

Global Christian School Leadership Summit is coming - register now!

The second Global Summit will be held in San Antonio on January 30 through February 1, 2019. The conference will have several strands (see graphic below) and I have been asked to head up the Teaching/Learning and Spiritual Formation strand planning. This is a very exciting international event and based on the speakers already committed, it should be an excellent gathering around the theme of innovation! Hope to see you there!
